Where's my flag?

ZDnet says that the Mises Institute is the "flag carrier for official libertarianism."

Of course if you own the flag, you can burn it.

  • Jeff, the whole notion of ignoring property rights in favor of emotional/symbolic rights (on the topic of flag-burning) reminds me of the t-shirts and patches that the "patriotic" Harley types wear.....these patches (or shirts) have the American flag on them, and beneath the flag it says, "Try to burn this one a****le." Well, uh, no, one shouldn't try to burn and thus destroy another person's _property_. But then again, the fatal failure of this argument against flag-burning is complete ignorance of property rights in favor of an appeal to some strange notion of collective emotional rights.

  • Due to air quality and or dry conditions some areas of the country have "no burn days". But if it is your flag (have a reciept ready just in case) and it is a "burn day" it should be no problem. (Use proper safety equipment at all times)
