Sorry about the name Jimmy.
What would you and your readers say if I wanted to fly my Indigenous flag? Would you still howl it down as others did when Cathie Freeman carried it at the Olympics.
Please explain to me, as I must have missed it in Ethics 101 how flying the Australian or any flag, other than perhaps the nazi flag, can offend anyone. Surely the person being offended is the person with the intolerance problem. I personally get offended by people with bigger ego's than their intellect, but that is my problem and I have to deal with it.
By the way, one of the other flag flying offenders in the complex is a South African, and there is no patriotic zeal, he just likes it.
More information, we have had one letter of complaint and countless comments of how good it looks not only from residents but people who use the adjacent walking path. I hope I haven't been associating with a whole lot of racists. I had better go and check under the bed incase there are some more racists under there hanging out with the communists, you can't be too careful these days.
By the way you aren't the Jim Thompson who started the silk business in Thailand and then disappeared in Malaysa in 1967 are you because you have a great business going back there.
There are lots of reasons that could be mounted against flying a flag but no one has discussed them, they are still entrenched in the own prejudices and phobias.
