Even with all the BS taking place now, the country is still worth loving, which includes its flag. The Government, not so.<\/p>\n<p>A few months ago, I noticed the flags on a bank in my town were in bad shape. So I took a picture of them and mailed them (snail mail) to the bank. I was a little rude with them, because they are a bank I detest. They have money oozing out the wazoo to feed their shareholders and not their customers.<\/p>\n<p>The envelope had my name and return address, but no contact information is put on the letter inside, because I really don&#8217;t want a reply. But if the recipients do use my address to send a reply, what they say will tell me everything I want to know about them.<\/p>\n<p>So, I am starting a new section showing the flags I have seen, and have sent mail to, and will also add the follow-ups.
