I cannot stand that we put the flag at half staff for all of these things. I hate it. It seems like we are perpetually putting the flag at half staff, and I feel in my bones that it is fostering some kind of victimhood mentality.
It isn’t healthy and it isn’t right.
This is not to say I don’t feel sympathy or respect for the victims, I just am repulsed by this constant state of...mandated national sorrow.
EXACTLY!
I just gave this opinion last week on some other topic.
Not to mention our stupid governors taking initiative to lower flags all the time too.
Asinine.
It is both victim hood and giving far too much importance to events that really don’t have to do with difficulty for the nation.
Ever since Sept 11.
