Message | "When my truck crashed into a remote, icy ravine," protests flag delivery man Hank "Flagtrucker" Henderson, "my only source of fuel was the thousands of Rutanian flags I was hauling! Without burning the flag hundreds of times, I would surely not have survived my ordeal." Henderson also explains how flag desecration aided his plight in other ways. "I used those damn flags for everything," he said. "I made bedding from them, built traps for food and evenutally tore a few hundred up to make the rope ladder with which I climed down from the mountain range." |

Message | That's an extreme example which has been used more than once. The fact of the matter is that desecrating the national flag as a political gesture or as civil disobedience is comparable to burning our Constitution or bombing a Government building. The flag is the symbol of our national identity. Would you sully the very name of Rutania? |
