Ribbon Ramblings

Here in the Twin Cities, about 1 out of every 2-3 cars on the road has the yellow "support our troops" sticker on their bumpers. I have a few random thoughts/questions about this:

- Does anyone not support our troops? Even those who think the war is wrong, or want them to leave, support them... obviously no one wants any harm to come to them.
- Do the companies that sell these stickers donate any of their proceeds to organizations that help troops and their families? Or is this simply a cash-grab?
- In 3-4 years, will car dealerships pay less for trade-ins with a discolored area of paint, in the shape of a ribbon... and will people accuse them of not being patriotic for doing so? :) (joke)
