Carol,

Since you are answering to my Arlington post I'm compelled to point out the following:

1. I'm pretty sure that I've never said that jews, blacks, etc. etc. did not have the "right" or prerogative to protest, just that if you are martyred for your actions it sort of 'sucks'.

2. I'm not advocating taking any thing away from any body.

3. And yes, "shame on you"/ me for attempting to point out that you (Carol) have made the assumption that most Canadians think that the majority of USAmericans are over sensitive sops when it comes to flag & country. Your insistence that a nations' flag is "only a piece of cloth" seems to be completely off base when taken the context of just who is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Regards,

. . . CES
