How Long Will It Last or This Is/Is This the End.

"After 9/11 the American flag industry went into a golden age of profits. Homes, cars, T-shirts, and beer bottles were covered in red white and blue. If you didn't have a flag somewhere in your possession you may as well be a card-carrying member of the bin-Laden Fan Club.

Six years and seven months later the car flags have torn and been discarded, you moved and just haven't gotten around to putting up the flag again, and everyone is sick of the war. Even the fervent right and their attempt to demonize Obama for not wearing a flag pin had that exorcised quickly.

This is not a pro-flag/anti-flag rant. It is about our short memory."
