Least people understand the meaning of what they actually stand for and I think using them as simply vain fashion items is ignoring historical facts connected with the symbolism that made a lot of people suffer and to parts still do. It's the most unconscionable expression of inappropriate ignorance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
