Patriotism without thought can easily end up rabid nationalism and that is the sort of thing that leads to conflict.

Patriotism is the collective responsibility of a country and is the result of a multitude of stimuli, it should not be seen as a simplistic display of an individuals pride as it goes far beyond that. You need a country and all that means to be a patriot.

Fly the flag but be sure of the motives.

I too fly the flag from both ends of my awning(removed at sunset, in case some bugger wants to pinch it)

I fly Our Flag at home every day it is left up 24/7, (don't Panic Glanyard it is suitably lit up :mrgreen: )
My camp has a flag as well I also have a pirate flag that fly over my camp as well. Just for a bit of fun.

I will NEVER bow to anyone who says we could not fly the flag that 4 generations of my family have fought under. The only way they will take my flag from me is to take from my cold dead fingers. ( to steal a movie quote)
Cheers
