flags

American flags are being burned. Whoopee… I am offended but complacent.

Danish flags are being burned. Being a Dane by ancestry, I am batting 2 for 2. The same Denmark that provides so much money for humanitarian support in Kosovo, Afghanistan, the Palestinian Authority, Somolia, Sudan…

O well, I am offended (the protestors are burning crosses, by the way, nice religious sensitivity, since it is prominent on the Danish flag, not “Old Glory,” but Dannebrog, the oldest national flag in existence) but complacent.

If I see one protestor burning another
flag, though, all bets are off!
