I'm not some kind of uber-patriot.
However, I do respect where I was born & I live.
And I appreciate what we do have.
And I would fight to protect it and those that live here, if called upon.

I say to them, "Deal with it".
They need to understand that while they can protest the policies & actions of the environment & government,
they should also honor the land that allows them to thrive and/or survive.
Especially within entities that are supported by that nation and state.
The flag is a symbol of representation of this land.

No person is an island.
I'm not saying you can't protest.
I am saying you can't request that kind of symbol that binds us to be withdrawn.
