I'd rather see the flag displayed than not displayed even if it isn't within the letter of the law.
Do you know that many communities in the US that have deed restrictions & covenants similar to TV FORBID display of the US flag so as to not "offend" some of the residents?
I think we should applaud those who choose to fly our nation's flag, and not worry too much if it's being put up or taken down according to Hoyle.

I disagree in a age when there is little respect for anything (country, human life and e.t.c.) I think it's important to teach respect for the flag and everything else that deserves respect. If someone was using your lawn as a restroom would it matter that the intent was to use a proper restroom? As our society has proven lack of respect for one thing leads to lack of respect for everything
