Quote....

This is another gem from David Ziegler, (I hope he doesn't mind my quoting him):

"I sat in a parking lot today watching a giant American flag moving in the wind. The way the wind curled it back and forth was beautiful.
There are two attitudes toward that symbol I’ve never understood. One involves combining jingoism and junk culture, the spawn of which is salt shakers and bird baths emblazoned with stars and stripes. The other is people who feel an embarrassment towards the American flag.
That giant flag I watched, it waves for people like Nick Berg. It waves to say there’s an alternative to the insanity of protesting injustice by cutting off innocent heads."

Thanks, David. Well said. I was looking for the words to express how I felt about that particular incident besides revulsion and anger. Pardon the cliche, but you hit the nail on the head!
