Which Flag To Fly

If I fly the Stars and Stripes
    I'll offend the left
  Unfurl the rainbow flag
    infuriate the right

  Red and blue no longer good
    ditto the colors of rainbow bright
  Perhaps I'll just surrender
    and wave a flag of white

I believe that acquiescence is at the root of America's current situation

I think a flab with a bullhorn pressed to a big mouth about sums up the situation.

I think perhaps this is 'POT' material: Wrap a joint in it, or just flush it down the pot altogether! lol. Thanks, Michael.
