A flag question
« on: October 06, 2006, 05:19:41 PM »

I noticed several months ago while going down I-10 in Beaumont that the Cowboy Harley and Honda shop have huge Texas flags flying out front. These two stores sit side by side. I thought that was pretty cool and normal. I've been riding by there several times since then and I kept thinking those are some pretty awesome flags but there was something wrong with the picture.
Today it dawned on me what was wrong. There is NOT an American Flag at either location.
I know Texas is the only state allowed to fly the state flag at the same elevation as the American flag but to me it just seems wrong to fly the state flag without the National flag beside it.

What say you?

I have no doubt that it's legal since the richest attorney in Texas owns them both. It just seemed odd to me not to see the American flag flying with them. I guess it's because that's what I am use to seeing.

Those stores are owned by a sorry-assed lawyer that sells eyes, limbs and lungs of real victims to insurance companies and then he keeps more than half the money.  Have your insurance rates gone down?  You and I are paying for his lifestyle. His America is spelled with a k.  He thinks he is a member of the Proletariat.  >:(

Well enough on my love of lawyers.  Gotta go pay my insurance bill.   :'(

A sixteen year old girl goes to a doctor and ask if she can get knocked up doing anal sex. Doctor said sure, where do you think lawyers come from. ;D
