110523- A joke

.....I was driving around today and noticed something I've seen hundreds of times but never thought about: many people fly American flags next to their front doors. I don't fly one myself. Respectful observance of flag etiquette requires raising it in the morning, lowering it at night and not leaving it in the rain. That's a lot of work and I don't know how many of those people simply leave theirs outdoors 24 hours a day. However, I'm thinking that flying one might not be a bad idea. For one thing, when someone's wandering around outside your house unaware of what country they're in that person really needs all the help they can get.
