"I feel our country is on a strong push towards imperialism, and we're not a democratic nation anymore. I want to raise my children to be citizens of the world, and the flag does not represent ideals I want to instill in my children. It represents dominance, greed, corporate power and not freedom. I think it even represents commercialism and consumerism."
"I think everyone in our community at Willow Wind should have a say in this," Julie Bedford told the Daily Tidings. "One person does not have the right to go above everyone's heads. It's completely the opposite of democracy."

Errmm last time I checked we were a REPUBLIC. The fact that the person said this was a democratic nation just proves her ignorance in any matter pertaining to the government and therefore her/his opinion shouldn't count on something so important as our nations flag. I can understand not liking what the government does sometimes but when you turn your back on the flag you are IMO in essence turning your back on your heritage and the men and women who shed their blood for that flag and for you. Things like this really bug me.
