USA and UK flags not to bother to pay high prices
for them, but I imagine an Australian flag would
sell for much more that its value!



The evening of the day the SCOTUS decision on flag burning was announced, I was walking through a local shopping mall when I passed a table where they were selling small (IIRC 4" x 6" (or 10 x 15cm for Alberto)) American flags. I considered suggesting that they might improve business in light of the day's news by offering a free book of matches with every flag sold. (I figured they might not be that amused, so I refrained.)

God bless America,
Land that I love!
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam�
God bless America!
My home, sweet home.

-- Irving Berlin (1888-1989)
