  Someone ought to try a Mises flag. I hope it contains super-cool Web 2.0 bevels and smooth color shades.

  Turning the web into a militant nationalist realm is exactly what is not needed.

  I'm confused: where is the militant nationalism?

  Bill, you may be missing the point, those "flags" , in my view, were akin to "political cartoons"-- heavy with satire and/or irony.

  As well, Bass, with their claim to having the first "registered" trademark, notwithstanding, should understand that "Flags" are mere marketing logos, to begin with.

  Can we burn these flags?

  This recalls the euphoria of the early 1990s when South Africa experienced its watershed government change.

  Amid a policial discourse redolent with all sorts of cliches and jingoistic stockphrases, nauseatingly sentimental political correctness, and a clutch of overworked words du jour, we had a public competition to design a new flag, to replace the old one which had accumulated all the wrong sort of ideological baggage.

  My design suggestion was unfortunately rejected: a clear sheet of cellophane. In the interests of transparency, you see, transparency having been the most overworked of the abovementioned overworked words.

  Instead, history shows we landed up with the technicolour y-front underpant , which is inoffensive enough I suppose, as it carries no recognisable symbols at all - unlike that other African country with an AK 47 as its vexillial centrepiece.

  I was particularly amused by the RIAA flag.
