If I get one more "Fly a flag on September 11" message, I think I'll puke.
I'm as proud of my nation as anyone can be while still maintaining perspective about the world outside our borders (the truth is, I'm very bad at being a Nationalist). But flying a flag is an act that takes no brains and says little more than that you go along with everyone else. If you want to commemorate 9/11, do it in a meaningful way. Give blood, volunteer somewhere, or simply refuse to condone behavior that is damaging to others.
I'm observing International Enough Day once more.
