Brad:
The grass is always greener... We Canadians are always saying, "Visit the
US, they have flags everywhere, clearly they are prouder of their country
than we are our ours." I guess the idea is to be proud of where you are from
and to appreciate where you are. Something like a list full of people from
all over the world who are proud to own British cars. (grin)

Subject: Flag display code - was Re: half mast flag ?? (Non LBC)
I just wanted to provide some information on proper display of the American
flag. So few people display one anymore, I think most of us have forgotten
how.
I am always amazed when I travel to Canada, at how many Canadian flags fly
everywhere. They take tremendous pride in their country. The only place I
have seen that is similar in the US is Texas, where many people fly the
state flag as a matter of pride.
Here are a couple of sites about how and when to display a US flag - FYI
