A question for the Americans...
You do realize that loving the flag is a learned behaviour, right? It's not some basic human instinct to go to such great lengths to protect, revere, sometimes worship, the *instance* of a symbol. So this is something that has been taught to you.
Why keep it? The flag isn't just a symbol of freedom, liberty etc. but oppression and terror. It symbolizes pre-emptive occupation, the leader of a crushing economic vehicle and pretty much everything wrong in middle and south america

(not really, it's just a lot to list here).
Also, how can people get so excited about one flag flying over another when your government iS SPYING ON YOU. Jesus Christ. How is that any less a sacrilege to what the flag stands for than a mexican flag being vertically higher than your flag? That's valuing one copy of a symbol over everything that symbol represents.
I think your democracy is dying and fluttering with its last breaths, America. Do us a favour and implode.
