I guess it wouldn't sound as catchy if you mention that they were opposed
to the pole, not the flag. There are other tasteful ways of flying the
flag. Do you absolutely need a 21' pole?
The size of the flag pole might be determined by the size of the flag.

At some point ones needs a light on the pole, lighting the flag at
night.

There is a protocol when displaying or retiring the flag for the day.

Sample: Stars are pointed a certain direction - different if displayed
north or south, east or west -- stationary on you home.

Don't the stars always go up, except when hoisted upside down as a sign of
distress? Doesn't the wind determine which way the stars point?

If not on a flagpole, but displayed against a building, then the field
of stars should be to the left as viewed. If hanging on another means,
then the stars are to be toward the north or ...east? Can't remember.
