What about not DRIVING anywhere on Memorial Day?

[otherlander]

A lot of people here have been saying that the best way to honor the fallen soldiers is to try to prevent future wars that would take more lives. If we don't drive anywhere, we won't be using gasoline. If we don't use gasoline, we won't be consuming from the oil industry. If we don't consume from the oil industry, we lessen the need for crude oil, and the advantage gained by the government and big oil by invading and controlling oil-rich regions. I realize that not driving anywhere for one day won't really change anything, but it's a symbol. And isn't that what memorials are?
