    maricalif - that yellow ribbon

    A beautiful sentiment by Tony Orlando and Dawn. What does that song have to do with anything? Wasn't he coming back from prison or something?

    Does it symbolize supporting our troops or supporting the gang of cut throats who have put them in harms way to make some big bucks?

    I bet it is made in China so I guess we really know who it supports.

    What I really love about the yellow ribbon magnet emblems is how many of them are affixed to gas guzzling SUVs.

    To me, those ribbons symbolize irony and hypocrisy.
