I just had a genius idea. Remember these?



We can RECYCLE them now, and call them "Whip Influenza Now" buttons.


(Whip Inflation Now (WIN) was an attempt to spur a grassroots movement to combat inflation, by encouraging personal savings and disciplined spending habits in combination with public measures, urged by U.S. President Gerald Ford. People who supported the mandatory and voluntary measures were encouraged to wear "WIN" buttons, perhaps in hope of evoking in peacetime the kind of solidarity and voluntarism symbolized by the V-campaign during World War II.

1. I have one of those somewhere.
I also have a GASP button (anti-smoking - forget what it stood for).

3. I want a WIN button.
It certainly would make arguing a lot easier.
