Haidi’s back
“One of my husband’s (university) students wore a t-shirt with an upside-down American flag and the word Propaganda across it to class on Friday. He then e-mailed my husband and apologized in case he had offended us (I’m American).
Canadians crack me up. They’re polite and apologetic even when they’re trying to make a statement. You need more than an upside-down American flag to offend me. Americans themselves do much worse to the flag ? once you’ve eaten it as a cake and seen it worn as a G-string bikini by countless horse-faced skanks, it’s hard to be offended by its simply being upside down.”
