For Love of Country
Pulling out onto the highway, waiting for a break in traffic, a truck pulled up across from me. The driver was clearly a true patriot who respected his flag so much that he had it proudly displayed on the front of his truck . . . to catch bugs.
Seriously.
I was taught that the flag should be honored. Don't let it touch the ground. Don't fly it in the rain. Burn or bury it if it gets tattered. I'm pretty sure using the flag as a fly swatter was not one of the ways I was taught to honor it. I just don't get this kind of patriotism -- but, then, I have been told I'm f***king conservative. Maybe I am.
hee!
