Message | The flag is our country's symbol, and no citizen should be told how and when they should use the flag. I find it highly hypocritical that you choose to isolate the flag from capitalism for "a sense of national identity and community," and yet you are against letting kids sing our national anthem? |
Date | 00:49:24, October 13, 2005 CET | From | Social Libertarian party | To | Debating the End Commerical Abuse of the Flag Act |
Message | It's not "letting" kids sing the national anthem, it's "making" kids sing it. |
