Some of you have mentioned the founding documents of this country,what they say, what it means, so I've included links ( I think).
Are they teaching this stuff in school anymore, or are we just dense and lazy?


Thanks for your comments, stories and thought provoking questions.

THE PATRIOT PROJECT

I have been talking to friends lately about the disconnect in our country between flag waving and understanding (or lack of) the rights and freedoms represented by the symbol.

I decided to turn this into an 'art project' and gather as many comments and photos as possible. A wise friend decided that this really called for a blog...so here it is!

What does the flag represent to you?

I am looking for responses and would also love to see photos of some of the best/weirdest flag displays that you've seen.
