Greetings all,

While I fully believe that everyone has a right to fly a flag, I am peeved that some many Americans have to go out and buy a flag in order to fly it.

I have been flying a flag every patriotic holiday for years and when this event happened, I went to my closet, got out my flag and hung it up. And sat back and watched stupid Americans rush around looking for anything that is red, white and blue. They make me sick - to only want to show their support for the positive aspects of America when something bad happens.

F*uck them all. I do not fly the flag because I want to prove to everyone I am a patriotic American. I fly it as a symbol of those who gave their lives and those who continue to risk their lives.

I have also written my congress men & women to insist they employ restraint in the retribution phase and I will continue to work hard to stop the part of American policy that at least indirectly was the cause of this event.
