Destruction of the Flag
There is a breaking story out of the University of Central Florida that an American flag was torn to shreds on campus along with dozens of others stolen. The school has not condemed this act of hate and has givin no comment on the situation. There is also no investigation ongoing. I pose this question......if it had been a "rainbow", a Martin Luthur King Jr. , or Palestinian flag that was destroyed do you think there would be an ongoing hate crime investigation??? I bet there would, but why not when the symbol of our country and freedom is destroyed no one cares?? This is a prime example of how screwed up some people in this country are.

Yeah, you're perfectly correct on this. They should say or do something about the whole situation and not be jackasses and let this go. It's great how you can call someone gay, or use the incorrect term for calling someone black or African-American or whatever their word of the hour is, and you're under intense scrutiny, but when it comes to destroying the symbol of our country, people just let it go. Fantastic.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
yeah that's a bit much for me, even anti-patriotic slogans and signs are acceptable to me in some situations, but this is just disrespectfull and taking it to far to me

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.
