re: #319 bratwurst

For some reason, people still don’t seem to understand how to mark this day:

That’s pretty lame, but it is a shifting thing. I just decided not to post this, but it’s still on my clipboard:

For the past 11 years, I participated in a full-page ad in the local paper commemorating 9-11-01. This year I declined, saying, ‘11 years are enough.’ I don’t want the day to be permanently dominated by eagle and flag graphics. Besides, a full page in that paper is half the size it was last year. Maybe it’s a two-page spread this year.

There needs to be a balance between ‘never forget’ and fetishizing the day.

And that’s a comment I should post tomorrow, not today.
