Say No to Flags

A long-lost person just sent me a recommended event related to Flags For Fallen Military which is to be hosted by local TV master-of-the-universe (and fellow Cougar) Tom Hauser.

No, I can't really get behind this group--and indeed oppose it. 

I don't like private groups to enter into a role government ought to play.  Our tribute to fallen soldiers shouldn't be a privately-organized activity. 

Nor do I like media figures playing People's Representative.

When a private entity seeks to take on this role--as in the present instance--it attempts to gain general respectability by asserting a chilling blandness and corporatism.

Fuck Flags for Fallen Military.
