This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Nowhere in the US Flag Code does it say to burn the flag if it touches the ground. The code says separately that you shouldn't let it touch the ground, and that if it is too damaged for display it is to be disposed of by burning. Not that accidentally touching the ground automatically necessitates burning.

Thanks for clarifying (and I should've looked it up myself! My bad for being lazy).

That sounds like a sane policy.
