My sister Pat said to me many times over the years that I'm into symbols. Perhaps I even look through them as a lens of life.
Well, I suspect this is true. But a question has popped into my mind that I have been unable to answer.
I have always considered myself very patriotic, but am doubly confused by the symbol of the American flag people wear on their clothes. What is in their heads when they wear them to a public gathering? Do they assume that those of us not wearing this symbol are from Mexico or Canada? Are we less patriotic somehow?
It might come down to, "My country, may she always be right, but my country right or wrong". Not the way I see it. What is right isn't alway indigenous to our native land.
