I wonder how brisk the trade is for the stars and stripes?

When Crypt Leak passed along a piece about an enterprising Gaza shopkeeper, I couldn't help but wonder how much of the international market in U.S. flags of various sizes is due to similar demands.

I lack the time (and probably motivation) to look into it further, but it's likely that not all of those cheap, Chinese-made U.S. flags are coming to the U.S.

I think they want Danish flags these days.

Well, sure -- that was the focus of the week.

What had occurred to me, though, was that it isn't as if flag burning is new, and I can't help but wonder how much of the production of US flags -- on a more regular, daily basis, especially in the past five years -- has been bought with the purpose of burning.

Who can stay mad at the Danes for long anyway?
Well, it's been a few weeks.

And the original publication of the cartoon was sometime in September last year.

It's not merely sudden anger, is it?

Anyway, in my country, they have banned the cartoons. Yes, we have censorship here.
