I heard this morning that Massachussetts Department of Transportation is banning American flags from all of thier bridges. I can't believe this. I think this is so un-American. All of our heroes that died for that flag. I am just so angry. Let me know what you think.

According to the current law all flags on bridges need to be secured at all corners because obviously nobody wants it to come loose and cause an accident. Bottomline...do we really need to run around and start prying American flags off all of are bridges if they are securely fastened? Is this really the time to take flags down and a person that cares enough to put a flag up is smart enough to fasten it securely.

Have you ever seen anything else hanging on a bridge...but an American flag? Maybe a banner once in a while...but they are taken down pretty quickly. All of the flags I have seen are secure.

Not necessarily but it is definitely politically correct. That's why I moved out of Pittsfield.

The state doesn't want anything--flags, sheets, signs-- hanging over a major roadway for safety reasons. A spokesman said the banners and flags could fall onto a passing car and cause an accident.
They are offering other options--"Welcome home troops" signs at rest stops, or searching for other, safer locations for the displays.

How can you be so angry when you apparently don't know all of the details? It's a safety issue and affects all flags put on highway over passes, not just American flags.

No. in case you probably did that then the subsequent logical question could be do all the components used in that is manufacture could desire to be made interior the U. S.? On an ingredient be conscious, if there replaced into ever a regulation handed that banned flag burning could the regulation cover flags not made interior the U. S.?

The problem isn't with flag banning, it's just that anything on a bridge can come loose and cover someone's windshield, so it's best not to have anything on them.

Yes we should burn those who are banning it. What has this country come to. Only if the founders could come back and set things straight.
