<BR>Today is 11/11. This day was originally designated as Armistice Day to
<BR>commemorate the end of WW I (i.e. the Great War, War to End all Wars), and
<BR>now known as Veterans' Day (US) and Remembrance Day (Can). I urge you all
<BR>to take some time to remember those people who fought and died so that we
<BR>all can have an open and heated debate on politics without the fear that we
<BR>will all be in jail tomorrow.
