1. oooooo -
I like it. I've been at a loss on how to "fly the flag" and show my support for America - WITHOUT showing any support for dufus&co & their bogus invasion.

What's the protocol, though? I want to get the message across without being "improper" - if you know what I mean.

2. my flag is STILL upside down
my flag at my desk has been upside down since the Emperor's coronation in January.

I read that flying a flag upside down is a legitimate signal of distress.... how appropriate is that?

The use of an inverted national flag was used by ships at sea to
signal the ship was in distress or needed assistance. It was a
needed "device" a few hundred years ago, way before the invention of radio-telegrahs, satellite gear and other new fun stuff. I have a few in my car windows and one in front window of home. Legal and on point!

8. I even put the stamps on mail upside down if they have a flag on them.
It's a total habit now.
