It has been a peeve of mine for decades...the lowering of the flag for nearly every reason.
I think it promotes an atmosphere of national victimhood, and I hate it.
Pearl Harbor? Yes.
9/11? Yep.
The death of a former President, even one I hate? I can go along with that.
Ted Kennedy or Barry Goldwater? No.
Whitney Houston or any other actor or musician? NO, NO, NO!
If a local government wants to do it on a day for a policeman or firefighter who died in the line of duty, I wouldn’t object, but not for a week at at time.
And definitely not for people who die in fires, auto accidents, or crimes.
Me too. If they want to make a sham of it, I refuse to go along.
