We don't have a flagpole so it doesn't apply to us. But I am sadly disappointed to see all the flags that ARE on poles on the entire route from the Paradise postal station to our house (around 3/4 mile total distance) are at full mast. What's even sadder, is that some are (and have been) in horrible condition. Tattered, faded, torn at the hems. If it were homes where snowbirds live and the homes have been vacant for months, I could sort of understand. But these are homes that are currently occupied.

Fake patriots, as far as I'm concerned. They wave their flag as a pretense so they can claim some kind of superiority over people who don't, but have no actual understanding or respect for the flag at all. They'd be more respectful if they just didn't fly it at all.
