In Tulsa, Oklahoma, it is against the law to open a soda bottle without

I find it interesting that the war on drugs makes your list of things that need to be changed before flying the flag again, even though it predates your decision to stop flying the flag. If you had the 1990s to do over again would you still fly the American flag, or has your perspective shifted enough in the interim that you wouldn't?

Don't know at this stage.
It seems that the 1990's were so long ago, and I looked at things differently then.
After some thought, it would depend on whether or not I was aware of Nixon's reasons for the debacle. If I knew, the flag would not have been flown, and I might have been tempted to take a little trip to Washington with one of my rifles.
