Was walking across campus and came across a table with a kid asking people to sign a thank you note to local first responders. Was ready to do it until I saw he was wearing a "Socialism Sucks" shirt, and the thank you note looked very much like a blank petition form, with full names, addresses and phone numbers being filled out. I didn't bother with the actual petition, but I did ask him if he saw the irony of what his short said and what he was doing. For some reason, it never dawned on him. I would hope we could let 9/11 go by without politicizing the day? Nope. Still a rallying point for some. Sigh.
