And green, black, white, red and rainbow ones. So many goddamned ribbons that we can't even tell we are looking at a police car. Seriously, if the cops are going to be wearing their support on their bumpers, why stop with just one ribbon? Or we could just say that such expressions of support are not appropriate for public service vehicles? I share your views, Chris, on the war in Afghanistan but I also agree with you that this is one particular slippery slope down which I don't think we should be descending, for any reason.
