What kind of pride and patriotism is being shown by knowingly violating the wishes object of your pride and patriotism?

I find less fault with those who may display a flag improperly without knowing the code...


I would think that, knowing what the code has to say, if one wanted to display pride and patriotism they could fashion an emblem of red-white and blue. Maybe lie the banners that they hang from thhe stands during the World Series....

Maybe I'm just in the minority, but I'm stunned how some people consider what is technically an improper display of the Flag for patriotism as a lack of respect.

It's not as if the Flag is displayed on the soles of players' and officials' shoes, or on the crotch of their pants. That, to me, is a lack of respect. It is also a lack of respect to display the Flag upside down, in a state of disrepair, or some other fashion that clearly says, "I know how it should look, but I'm making a statement because this country is screwed up!"

I wish everyone would abide by all laws and regulations, particularly those that clearly do physical, mental, and fiscal harm to others, as vehemently as some here feel about this issue. This country would be far better off.

Oh well, to each his/her own. There are way too many other things in today's society that I feel need to be addressed than this.
