Was anyone else worried ...

I heard a news report on KYW the other day that bothered me in a strange way ...

It's not that it's a big issue, really ...

But that it required a radio broadcast in power rotation [I heard it three times while driving from Blue Bell to Hatfield (i.e., in about 20 minutes)] to inform people how to "properly" hang up their flags, I thought was pretty sad.

Have we sunk so low that people don't just know anymore that if you aren't hanging the flag off a pole the stars go on the upper left??? I mean all people really need to do to figure this out is look at their Tommy Hilfiger shirts and just hang it the in same orientation, right?

Folding the flag back into that little triangle properly I understand needing instructions for ... but just hanging one off your house? (and yes, I have been seering flags displayed "backwards", so yeah, the information is needed, but still ... shouldn't people already be aware of this?

(I notice weird stuff sometimes ...)
