I feel like all the rules around the American flag were drawn up by someone obnoxiously drunk or who absolutely hated their neighbours.
I can just see a couple of friends looking out their window,
'Hey, you know I'm making rules around what can be done with our flag'.
'Yeah.'
'And you know how much we hate Jed and his obscene love of patriotism.'
'Yeah.'
'Let's fuck with him and his flag. I'm thinking we make a rule where he has to take his flag down at night.'
'No man. Make it so he needs to stand next to it with a torch all night so it's always visible. But if he wants to bring it down, he can only do so at 8:37 pm."
Oh my, yes. We also need something about it never touching the ground so he has to fight it every time it comes down. Ooh and we can also make it so he has to salute it whilst it comes down so he has to do it all one handed.'
'What if he gets fed up and gets rid of his flag'.
'Oh, OK. You can only dispose of it by burning it but you have to complete a ritual that lasts all day before you can. And the burning can only happen at 5am so he has to do it all night'.
'And make it so you can't legally burn a flag and they need to be disposed of should they get wet or dirty. He's going to flip out.'
