So true.....I believe that have every right to express their views...... But don't do it during those few minutes. ...... They are sacred to many people including myself.I fully agree. I think the people they're "protesting" for would be much better served by these people staying on their feet and going into the communities to whom they are trying to draw attention and working with the people. Maybe donate to a job service program, but more importantly, spend time rather than just throwing money at an organization. Help clean up neighborhoods, serve in a soup kitchen, work with at-risk youth. And not just once as a publicity stunt. Go in as a regular guy, and help. This would be so much more effective than disrespecting the flag and the veterans who have fought for their right to do so. (Getting off my soapbox now...)
I'm not even allowed to grow it. When DH was growing up, his mother would grow them to the size of a toddler, then boil them. That's the only way it was prepared.
