this whole flag business is getting out of hand. worth noting that the the folks americans call in reverentially biblical tones 'the founding fathers' made no attempt to turn the flag into an icon. as the article indicates, these are relatively recent aberrations.
here in oz, the flag fruitcakes are on the upswing and a raft of daft 'protocols' are coming out in simian imitation of the americans.
let us not forget that nation states are imaginary communities and that the symbols of these states serve less to unify than to separate.
