Its not about the lines or the flags. The symbol is not the issue. The inappropriate behavior is. There is nothing wrong with a flag. There is something wrong with us. The reason this story made the paper is because it sparks an emotional response in the grunting an pissing kind of personality. We are not superrior because we live in one country or another. I personally do not care for flags of any sort. There is just way to much of a freudian connection going on with that particular symbol. And I do not care to be a part of that. |

There is no indication of inappropriate behavior throughout the entire article and video display. Whether or not emotional response is coming from "the grunting an pissing kind of personality" is completely outside of your reach. The real question is, whether the African Immigrant has ever participated in an Oath Ceremony of the Naturalization Act. If the person did so, I wonder if she also felt offended by the overwhelming presentation of Red White and Blue, yet still took the oath or turned her back and left. Alternatively she may have never been sworn in.

It would become a property rights case were it a different symbol and your own property. But I don't expect empathy. |

So if I wrap your car in a giant American flag, you won't ever drive your car again for the sake of not taking down the flag? Will you seek my permission to take it down?

You realize the silliness of your comparison, right?

Let's put Rich C in charge of running the show and consequently we'll have a 'War on Nationalism'. That's obvious.

It's a more extreme example, but it would still be nice if you actually answered the question.

I don't know about you, but I primarily consider myself an Earthling and American and Czech second (I'm a dual citizen). Last night I was watching the 2nd episode of a documentary called UFO: The Best Evidence where they ended the episode by one of the guys saying something like if there's to be any hope for the long-term future of our civilization, we'll have to start thinking of ourselves as Earthlings, as that's what we are to aliens whether we like it or not. I agree fully.

Here is how it goes: Wrapping my vehicle with the effect that I cannot drive it, is a direct violation of my private and personal property rights, which is different form corporate property rights which accommodates employees on their property. Theoretically I will ask you kindly to immediately remove the giant flag from my car, else you will face 2 lawsuits: A the misuse of the Star Spangled Banner B you disable my vehicle to the effect that I will experience dramatic loss, for which I will hold you accountable.
