Hi everyone,
I told you that I would report back on the question of whether our flag
image on the National page was incorrect, or a desecration.
I think everyone that wanted to voice an opinion has done so, so I have
tallied the results. 57 people said that the graphic was okay and they
accepted it. 42 people said that it was not okay and they don't like it. So
I believe the majority says that the graphic is okay. I may not agree with
it but the majority wins (smile).
Furthermore when I wrote to the Citi

It's a beautifully done graphic, tasteful and appropriate.
My thought is that if someone is complaining about this, they have too
much time on their hands and might want to volunteer at a soup kitchen
or their local elementary school....

This is a little story about four people named
Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and
Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that
because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it,
but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when
Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

I personally like it. It is a National page representing the whole of our
country. When people are wearing clothing, hats, ties, etc., made to look like
our flag, why should we complain about the symbol of our country on this page.
I think it is in good taste too. Leave it alone.
