We have hands down the most efficient and capable government in the world.

Hardly. I suspect Iceland is much more efficient, and several other
countries do almost as well.

I wonder how many congress weasels will wind up in that condition?




We have hands down the most efficient and capable government in the world.
But it's kind of like having the most reliable MGB in the world- still not
that great though. But an average Egyptian civil servant for example
accomplishes about 1/2 an hour of useful work each day. I'm not sure WHO
people are comparing our politicos TO though- maybe ones from outerspace? We
have a better government than most Americans deserve, that's for sure.

John, you are wasting your time on this Canadian nutball. He hates
everything about America, except for what he can buy cheaper here and
take home.

Oh! Really? Wow! your a genius!

Some Americans apparently believe that Muslims hate them becasue the Muslims are
jealous of their worldly goods and wealth.

Nah, they're just sick and tired of the crusaders invading them and
blaspheming Allah.

Thanks,

Here are some photos from yesterday's Memorial Day ceremony at our local
Veteran's Park. These are raw photos. Some are crooked, because the
spots I had to set the tripod weren't level. Some are off center,
because I couldn't stand where I needed to, but this is the first real
use of the new Fuji camera. I was sick from the heat and humidty, so I
couldn't stay to shoot more photos.

We had bigger flags than that locally in the UK for the year 2000.
The Union Jack on one crane and Old Glory on the other. They
were enormous and because the wind was blowing hard they were
flying out straight. They looked magnificent against a flawless blue
sky. Bill.

I'll remember that for when the year 3000 celebrations come calling
g. I think the flag was courtesy of the US navy. Hope they got it
right.

Half of the dopes over here, regardless of their level of patriotism,
do not even know what a proper flag looks like.

In ever circle from top government to local, and any parade you can
name, the idiots buy their flags from a maker that bends and breaks the
rules of the flags layout at every turn.

Main infringements:

Stars too small.

Stars not full. Stars should be FIVE STRAIGHT lines, not some pointy
barbed CRAP.

Stars in the wrong place in the field.

Flag too short.

Field wrong proportion as a result of above.

Gold fringes.

Improper colors.

It really is sad.


There is only ONE proper US flag formula, it has been in effect since
1967, and ALL proper flags carry the same proportions in every aspect to
said formula. All non conformal flags are a disgrace to the very ideal.
