David,

To quote General Joe Stilwell, "Don't let the bastards get you down".

Yes, there are many reasons to be more than pessimistic about the state affairs we are currently experiencing as a Country. However, the negative projection has a tendency to be contagious and usually accomplishes nothing but a willingness to surrender or promote apathy.

There are other more constructive ways to express yourself. Far too many men & women have made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of that Flag and what it symbolizes. Fly it high and proudly for their sake.

Instead, put a sign on your lawn expressing your grievances, continue writing op/eds on these pages, or get involved in your local politics.
