11. Yeah, that's a good point.
Edited on Sat Dec-25-04 09:26 PM by Ladyhawk
I'm just thinking of confusing the freeper types who think the flag belongs to them. And I have done more than put stickers on my car...that's why the time after Nov. 2 was a great time of mourning for me. I'm still not through with the mourning.

I'm just wondering why we can't say by symbolism: "Look, I am an American, too."

Just before our country invaded Iraq, I was so angry I was completely anti-flag. The symbol had been hijacked by the nationalists to show their complicity in what has turned out to be a massacre. I was furious. I saw something in the middle of the road, thought it might be a snake, saw it was an American flag that had fallen off a car, sped up and ran over it ON PURPOSE.

Now, I'm wondering if we're giving them the tools to oppress us by letting them steal the flag.
