Your avatar disturbs me - are you in distress? That is the international signal for a ship in distress - kinda' makes one wonder where you are coming from! Oh yeah! I don't do "truffles" - redundant or any otherwise.

I guess I missed this before. I'm not bringing it back to fight, but rather to discuss. Your statement "We don't need enduring friends" is very telling. Perhaps you would be happier if we returned to the policy of isolationism? Every nation needs enduring friends. No nation can stand alone.
Yes, I am in distress, and I am and was well aware of its meaning. I doubt it is the
international signal for distress -- that's a trifle(there's that word again) arrogant. I am coming from the place my sig puts me at: a patriot concerned for his nation. I choose to display the flag this way to protest the actions of my government. If this disturbs you, imagine what a still picture of a burning flag might do. And your oblique reference to France is clever, if stilted.
