I didn't know that it is illegal to "wear" the flag, but not surprised. Interesting that supposed patriots drape themselves in replicas of the flag .

And a Happy 4th to you, too, Jan!

Great references. Indeed, we need a LOT more critical thinking in the States.

Btw, did you know it’s illegal to wear the flag? Not just wrapped around you but any kind of clothing that appears to be a flag. Not that anyone pays attention to this law. Which is pretty much what the country feels like today.

Honestly, I’m not a big fan of superficial patriotism and fireworks

Barbecues and books are good though!

Happy 4th, Joan 🇺🇸
