I don't know the details of this flag thing, and don't trust Fox to deliver anything that even vaguely resembles the truth (or even that they didn't make the whole thing up), but I sure recognize hypocrisy. For example, does the apartment complex have limits on the size of the signs (or on all signs) that they allow? Is this okay, or do we need to say signs can be excluded except when they're American flags. What other exceptions do we need to make? Perhaps favored religious symbols should be allowed?
One more question, though. Does this have anything to do with eBooks? Anything at all?

Your analogy black people and this flag thing is absolutely atrocious. In the first instance you disregard a PERSON. In the second instance you disregard a part of the PUBLIC DISPLAY of a persons IDENTITY. There's a vast difference.
What this has to do with ebooks: Nothing, that's why it's in the Lounge.
