Cheers.

I picked up a NYPD tshirt in May, 2001. It was fun to wear it. After 9/11, it wasn't funny anymore. I'm about ready to start wearing it again. I don't think anybody will notice what the symbol meant to me.

I saw a "Remember Serenity Valley" item that I thought was cool. Moved as I was, it really is just fiction. It seems irreverent to me to commemorate a fictional battle. I don't think too many people will understand my view of that symbol.

My point is that many symbols carry personal meanings and that baggage sometimes gets passed on without any explanation. The next group tries to figure out why it was so important when maybe it wasn't so important at all.

One history book on Pagan Celtic Britain has a long study on a drawing of a naked woman carved into a rock face. It goes through a long and detailed study of fertility cults and practices but summarizes that it may have simply been created by a bored soldier on guard duty.
