Cheap Patriotism
What do you do with the plastic American Flag handed to you by a sincere little Boy Scout at the July 4th Parade?
When he offered it, you couldn't very well say, "No, thank you." But, now that the festivities are over, you don't want that cheap thing collecting dust in your house. You can't burn it, because it's plastic. So . . . you toss it in the landfill.
Boy did that feel patriotic.
