Can't display The American Flag?

[Cajunheat]

Would you live in an apartment complex where, you couldn't display the American flag? Well that's exactly what some moronic apartment managers in Albany, Oregon are doing. If this doesn't get your red American blood boiling I don't know what will.

Albany is on the other side of the hill from me and there's a reason I rarely go over there. To give you an idea of that side of the hill, they consider Bend (pop. ~80K) as rural and call us hicks.

And you guys though Berkeley was liberal.

This sort of thing has been going on forever. I say if you dont like where I fly my flag, dont live in my country - but then I didn't sign any HOA saying I wouldnt/couldnt.

Earlier this week, Debbie McLucas, a supervisor at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield, Texas, was told she would have to take down a 3×5 American flag that she had hung near her desk in an office she shares with three other supervisors. Her boss told her a fellow supervisor, who had immigrated to the United States from Africa 14 years earlier, found it “offensive.”

Bank of America Draws Fire for Pulling U.S. Flags From Property
When a South Carolina woman tried to honor her next door neighbor, a Marine who was recently in Afghanistan, by planting flags along the route the casket would follow, a Bank of America branch manager pulled the flags from the bank's property, citing "corporate policy."

But does it bother you enough when others do it that it makes you complain creatures?

I'm not a huge fan of flags but they come in handy for suffocating barking dogs. That's something all apartment dwellers can get behind.

BINGO. A big key here is what YOU agree too when you move into a state/city/neighborhood/apartment.

The same rules that prevent flag flying also protect us having Winnebagos parked in every driveway or your neighbors parking 17 undrivable cars in front of their house ot apartment.

Yuck. I know HOA's exist and they may have a place but I would never, never, never want to live under one of those little dictatorships.

Cities "dictate" the size/placement etc of signs that businesses use which I consder a good thing. Can you imagine a 2500 foot tall Golden Arches from micky d's glowing in the night and seen through your bedroom window.

My City has nailed me two years in a row about my 20 foot bushes over hanging too much in the alley way. First year it pissed me off. Second year they nailed me before I did my spring trimming. It won't happen a third year cause I'm playing the game. AND more importantly, same thing applies to the neighbors behind me and I don't have to worry about an ugly view in back.

some nice zoning laws and poof you can keep thing from getting insane. anyone who I have know who is governed by an HOA... Hates it in the end. I guess it is a love hate relationship though usually. Because once polluted by the HOA concept you then start looking at your neighbors property as and extension of yours and you start bitching about them.


Bleche icky poo!
