The software is acting up...It's an aspiration. As for flags, they meant something in the past, as far back as the Romans. One would rally around the flag. I hate throwing the baby out with the bathwater, re our country.

Yes, I get that. This particular flag though, for me, is beyond redemption.

Agree! When the ex-president began using the red, white, and blue to communicate his evil, lies, narcissism, etc., the colors turned sour to me. I hope to let that go, and get back to admiring it again.

I just don't think it's ever been an admirable symbol, at least not for me. It represents a history of genocide, slavery, racism, misogyny, and religious intolerance. Objectively, I also find it rather ugly. Just as with the anthem, I think we could do much better.
