I was out and about in our fair town's inner section, looking for a VHS tape rewinder, when I happened across an interesting scene.
There is a local pub called 'the Scot's Corner' run/owned by an american. Many downtown shops put cananada flags out front, but the yankees sometimes put both US and Ka-Blamada flags.
So anyway he had the US flag out front on one of those poles that Spider-Man always finds. He has for ages. He has a big front window and I guess that his window-washer or whatever forgot his extendible-pole, which has a sort of metal hook thingy on the end.
Local luminary comes along, Muslim chap (this was from what he was saying, not appearance although he looked 'Arabic'), and is outraged that 'that flag' flies in Canada or whatever. So, he exercised his right to free speech in the usual religious fashion, by destroying other's speech. He tried for quite a while to slip the flag off, but he couldn't get it, so he settled for snagging it and slowly tearing it into strips while holding forth to passersby.
Most people actually have **** to do and places to go so there wasn't much debate.
Anyway, I thought that, while he may not have succeeded in making a political statement by 'breaking the other kids toys', he DID succeed in making a statement:
"Support Me in My Bid for 'Village Idiot' Position"
"In Solidarity with French Youth, but I Couldn't Find Any Citroens or Kerosene"
"(American) Immigrants Out!"
"Free Speech for Some!!"
"Human Reproduction: A Right?"
I thought for a while that the owner might come out and plant a Star-Spangled foot in his rear, but bars close early on sundays and there wasn't hardly anyone around.
