Some years ago a friend of mine was working at a Summer Camp in New York state, and being a good Scot, he waited until no-one was looking and replaced the stars and stripes with a saltire on July 4th.<BR/><BR/>This was when he found out that Americans take their flag very, very seriously.JamesOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09332376784689207703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1120534826407165862005-07-04T23:40:00.000-04:002005-07-04T23:40:00.000-04:00I think the old canard about Betsy Ross is an urba...I think the old canard about Betsy Ross is an urban legend. I've read on several sites that no one knows who made the first flag, even though records of the time show it definitely was commissioned.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15058219643912780497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1120490445508711032005-07-04T11:20:00.000-04:002005-07-04T11:20:00.000-04:00I LOVE Independence Day!

Alth...I never did like the movie Independence Day. Although the special effects were good, the story and plot, well, there wasn't any.<BR/><BR/>If an alien culture had the technology to build ships of that size and complexity, why would they then use small craft to dog-fight out primitive technology, and not some other means?
