I'm not going to burn any flags today
I usually go into town, strip naked and burn a hundred flags a day in front of the post office; but since today is Flag Day I thought I'd give it a break. I'm going to try to reach my inner conservative today. I'm already starting to feel patriotic but there is an eery fakiness about the feeling. Maybe I can find a cancer research lab to blow up; or I can go to a local bar and huff and puff about how we got to stay in eye-rack for ever if that's what the president wants. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow.

2. If we burn our flags today...
Is it less patriotic to get ones made in China? I mean, do I have to spend the extra dough it costs to buy the flags made by undocumented immigrants here as opposed to buying the cheaper ones made by the slave labor in China?

3. Burning a flag has no symbolic value unless they make it illegal
Otherwise, it's been done too much and the act has lost it's meaning.
