Interesting you say that. That was my suggestion many years ago people should be ID'd by their state which was ignored. The reason many don't run a state flag, is because it makes it real easy for them to attack every other state, while keeping theirs hidden.☺ And what's interesting, is most members in CA run the flag...
I agree with the need for Freepers to show their flags.
Like those from CA, I believe most from TX do also.
