In 2001 it was US flags. Real, magnetic, or sticker.
Today, its yellow ribbon magnets. Why?

What does slapping a magnet on your car do? Tell the person behind you that they should support the troops? What, exactly, do you think the masses of people that have put a yellow ribbon magnet on their car have done to back their own suggestion? Turn the made-in-china magnet on its side and you not only make a statement about your support for the war, you turn it into a religious one, also. This "I care more than you do attitude" combined with plastic patriotism takes it to a higher level that requires the least amount of effort needed to fit in with the largest group of people possible that results in no change. Its nauseating.

Of course, sometimes its not the sticker, but the location you place it when you put even less thought into your support for the men and women that serve our country.

Fill 'er up with regular, please.
