Poppies

I am sure some of you will have found me too harsh on the poppy appeal. Ik zit er zelf ook een beetje mee in de maag. When I think it over, I do still stand behind the arguments I have given. But I also appreciate the fact that other people may have other feelings about it, for example see a symbol of peace instead of a symbol of victory (of course the image of the flower does a lot to propagate the former view). Anyhow, I have thought of some kind of compromise. If it works out, you'll hear more about it later. In the meantime, I will keep discussing the issue with various natives and non-natives here.
