RE: Federal Government Shutdown
October 9, 2013 at 12:21 pm
Both grandfathers and one grandmother served in WWII. A handful of aunts and uncles served. I served 12 years. One brother and one cousin are still active. My take....

Flag burning in protest doesn't bother me in the slightest. Instead of becoming immediately horrified as many do I immediately wonder what the protest is for. I then agree or disagree based on the merits of the protest. Even if I disagree with the basis of the protest, I couldn't care less about the flag being burned.

While I'm at it, I'd like to make a proposal. Let's stop the insipid tradition of playing/singing the national anthem everytime a few people get together for a sporting event.
