You're welcome to the first, and cry me a river on the second.
You do not believe that such a showing of the American flag was a disgrace? Or that is has any meaning?
While its overall relevence may be questioned at this point (but I do not believe it will be in the long run because as more Americans see it and are made aware of the true nature and extent of the problem, which that flag raising punctuates, they will be motivated to act), it is still a highly affrontive and disgraceful act on its own.
