actually Brook gave me a hard time because we didn't have a sign.
I'm really not a sign-waving type... I'm not a chanting type... I
just wanted to make a little show of support.

To her it was a "parade."

Anyway, brainwashing starts at home, sure, but I think the schools
brainwash the worst.  Me & the PTA been battling a bit about such
things.  Guess who's gonna win.  (Damn pushy holier-than-though
stay-at-home soccer moms...)

>instead of marches, let's call them parades...

done.
