Well here in the D.C. metropolitan area, nobody is discouraging flags I can say that for sure LOL. At least 1/2 of the cars in traffic have either a flag bumper sticker, or a flag sticker in one of the windows, or one flying (like mine) on the radio antennas on cars, some are attached to windows, and many have large flags flying in front of their front door of their houses. Large flags are hanging from bridge overpasses above many highways, are in store windows, being sold in many stores, etc. This was never like this before Sept. 11th. To me, this means that we Americans are being calm, and strong. The terrorists will NOT take away what America stands for, we will never turn into the barbaric mentality that the Taliban has. If they think their attacks on us are going to cause internal chaos, as seems to happen a lot in their country, they are sadly mistaken. We will not start throwing rocks at eachtother, we will not stampede eachother in a panic, we will not put ourselves first in an emergency over the weaker people, we will stand together and care for eachother, as family. I really believe this, especially now after seeing how people have come together since Sept. 11th all over the U.S. We only grow stronger when threatened, this I guess, the Taliban will learn in time. God bless America.
