It was his "mark."<BR/><BR/>Look at the scene. It's the only think in the whole area, set set diagonally towards the preset camera positions. By standing on that mark, he frames the two flaming towers over his right shoulder. This was an intentional act.<BR/><BR/>And, frankly, I don't just have a problem with him standing on the flag (although I do,)I have a problem with him standing on a memorial, however informal, to those lost.<BR/><BR/>I think it's that it acts as a broad metaphor for the way this administration has used those people and their horrific deaths for their own ends.<BR/><BR/>I think that's the disrespect that bothers me more.<BR/><BR/>Mikemikevoteshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08010028700825655843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14902719.post-1158008151543422472006-09-11T15:55:00.000-05:002006-09-11T15:55:00.000-05:00This rug had to be made in another country.

Good thing that flag desecration amendment didn't pass. Oh, wait.

Remember how crazy the right wingers went when it was shown that Saddam had a US flag on the ground so people would have to walk on it. <BR/><BR/>Mikemikevoteshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08010028700825655843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14902719.post-1158001235536705712006-09-11T14:00:00.000-05:002006-09-11T14:00:00.000-05:00The constitution has been swept under that rug.zenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06084723698281173517noreply@blogger.com
