Happy Independence Day Amerika

I read in New York Times:

American Flags as Big as Fields
On the field before the All-Star Game, Major League Baseball plans to assemble the largest gathering of Hall of Fame players in baseball history. And as fans salute their heroes, the former players will join the crowd in saluting the American flag — one that is roughly 75 feet by 150 feet, as long as a 15-story building is tall, spread horizontally over the Yankee Stadium turf.

If only Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels were alive!!! At least they had the good taste to use the work of an exceptionally gifted artist, Leni Riefenstahl. In today’s Amerika, all is needed is a big flag. But, as Howard Zinn reminds us, "There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people".
