Take note, kiddies, and write the date down. Because this one of the very few times that you will find me in 100% agreement with the incomparable Mr. Ravel.
In fact, I'll do one better. There was a retail store, here in Omaha, whose name I will not mention. They had a huge banner displayed outside that read "We Support Our Troops". I inquired of the store manager just how, in fact, they were supporting the troops. He looked at me blankly and asked what I meant by that. I said that he had a sign out front that read "We Support Our Troops". How are you doing that? He replied that they were supporting the troops by having that sign. I really don't think that he ever got the point.
