We all have SEXUAL ORIENTATIONS too, so I'm not really following the line you're trying to draw in the sand.

The language of the federal code makes it clear that the AMerican flag is a LIVING Symbol. Public law 94-344. One flag is federally protected. the other is not. may I suggest you lobby our government and it gets put to a vote, you know... like a democracy...

So then are you opposed to the RI flag being flown because it's not federally protected? Then may I suggest you lobby our government and it gets put to a vote, you know... like a democracy...

You failed to answer my question. Why are you working so hard to conceal your actual opinions?

So you criteria is that a flag must be protected by either federal or state decree in order to be allowed to fly on state land?

no, it should be put to a vote and decided by the people if you are to fly it on state land... you know actually representing the ENTIRE state, by voting... I know, pretty crazy ideals.

Wait so now your criteria is that a flag must have a popular vote to be able to fly? So then we're back to you wanting the American and Rhode Island flags taken down.
