Ian, I have to say i am with MMario here onne this one. I come from a diverse background and my beliefs are not always the "majority" but that does not give me the right to excuse the basics. I live in this country and the flag and veterans represent me. You are certainly entiled to your beliefs, and I in No way wish to disrespect you !!!! SO for what it's worth, the majority of this country DOES believe inb the Flag, and doesn't Respect what we have, that they are privliages, and NOT rights to do as we please. Many died for us so we could be here now having this discussion, never forget that! I guess this is a topic close to heart since my husband is a veteran, and I see it from a very different side. and I rant again... Sorry, I just wanted to point out that I did not in anyway wish to put down or disrespect anyone!!! Been there enough time myself. Jill
