most of the people i know who feel they love the flag and all that stuff have one on their car. they leave it up at night (what happened to taking down the flag at night?) and drive around till it's frayed and torn and messed up.
i've always wondered how respectful they feel that is - i'm not into the flag thing, but it seems sort of strange to destroy it in the interests of showing your patriotism...
on another note, most - not all, but a large percentage - of the folks i've ever met who are into the "love it or leave it" thing are also racial bigots. how can we be "one nation under god" when so many feel that WHITE united statesians are the only ones that statement represents when we have citizens of every nation whose families have been here for over 100 years?
i love the ideals of freedom, brotherhood and equality our country was founded on. i'd love to see more of it in my everyday life.
