In reply to Police seize flag flown upside down in protest, posted by gardenergirl on July 13, 2009, at 11:09:36
We don't have so many flags here, though there was one where I grew up. Down in our little town there is a persistent man with a flag pole. The youth of the town get drunk (I think) and scale (how?) his flagpole and steal the flag at night, or so I assume. But should the flag be flown at night?
A lot of people here were considering moving to New Zealand in the event of a Howard victory. We have a lot of Americans here with interesting pasts...stockbrokers, psychedelic priests, ones who talk about how we are moving away from 'the piscean victim story' (that's Christianity, I eventually realised). Down town I often hear languages I don't recognise which is really great. When I grew up the only olive oil you could buy was from the chemist. I'm not so sure we've advanced. I quite like the idea of going into my local pharmacy and asking for some olive oil and opium tincture.
