I remember seeing bumper stickers and things a couple of years ago with messages along the lines of: "Where was your flag/patriotism on September 10th?" To be honest, I'd have to agree. It absolutely disgusts me that some companies used a national tragedy to market cheap patriotic crap to people who didn't give a damn before the attacks happened and then kept all of the profits for themselves rather than donating them to the families of the victims or any of the organizations that were actually doing something to help. Apparently the words "marketing" and "ethics" are not to be found in the same sentence (except, as in this case, to point out the obvious contradiction between the two).

Don't display the flag unless you understand what it represents and are willing to display and care for your flag properly!
