A day late, but... Last night's news carried this item. Some residents in Amherst, MA (Amherst College, Univ. of Massachusetts) are "furious" that the US flag has remained up after Labor Day. They consider the US flag a symbol of racism, imperialism, and evil, and have demanded that it be taken down. The matter has reached the selectmen and town manager for action. In light of today's events, I think this item is particularly relevant, and says volumes about Amherst, MA, and the surrounding area.
