How do you feel being back in america seeing the american flag again?

It makes me sick.

I started to get sick in 1986. The centenial celebration for the statue of liberty. Quite the Hollywood extravaganza, All the dancers in white a million flags waving, dogs farting the star spangled banner.

And I felt like I was from Mars. That red white and blue became a meaningless schmata to me that day. Gag me with a flag.

He picked his words carefuly. Talking about Blair joining hands with him.
Painful to see.
thanks
I fell asleep again to the BBC overnight last night. I got cricket scores in my subconscious again.

That was great... thanks for sharing it.

It would also fit well on the Culture board.

Want to post it again over there?
