Check out this incident I had
Advertisements [?]
I stopped in a convience store to buy some smokes (yes I smoke.) Anyway I also needed a new lighter.

Now I love this country as much as the next person but the girl behind the counter just grabbed a lighter w/ the US flag on it.

Right now our flag represents stuff I don't agree with and stuff I frankly hate. Bush has hijacked it.

I politely said I want some other lighter. She puts it back and sticks out a yellow one.

The guy behind me then sticks his nose in and says, sneering 'Whatcha got wrong with our flag?"

"It's none of your business what I think about the flag right now, thank you."- me, firmly.

So he just got back in line and left me alone. I bought my stuff and left.
