While I understand the sentiment, and I too cringe at the breach of etiquette, it's not that high on my list of things to get upset over these days. I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of people who fly the flag incorrectly do so out of ignorance that there is a proper vs improper way. I'd rather have a patriotic, U.S.A.-loving American fly it improperly than not at all. If flags don't come with etiquette instructions, how are these people supposed to know?
How are they supposed to know...
I was taught when I was in Elementary School years ago. I suppose they could use the Internet to take the 15 seconds to educate themselves on the Proper way to Display the Flag. Nah that would take time away from Twitter and Facebook and other worthwhile endeavors...
If you cannot Display the Flag with the Dignity it has earned, then do not display one...
