Well, I did find one in the nether archives, just a simple one. The flag reminds me of two quotes. Sir Walter Scott wrote: Breathes there the man with soul so dead, who never to himself hath said, ‘This is my own, my native land!’ On the other hand, Samuel Johnson observed that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. (Sarah Palin, take note.) U Pick, as the signs say in the fruit orchards around Seattle.

I like the Mark Twain quote very much. And thanks, I will pick -:)
