    that's what i said. she was kinda surprised at my call. i told her i found out about the flags in a internets debate. told her the OP attended a straight up rock n roll show & stayed nearby your building, he was bothered by the torn/tattered flags. he wants them replaced. "nope", i said, "they have character," "leave the flags alone," i said. she was thoroughly impressed & truly amazed.
    the end...

    "Hi, Detroit Free Press? This is hedonist, another internet person! I found out about the flags on an internet debate. You received a call and may or may not receive future calls about this from a certain 'chadwick', also from the internet. Please send him the tattered flags on my behalf. Not that he needs more character - dude's got plenty - but I think he'd enjoy them immensely."

    She was thoroughly impressed and truly amazed.

    :ar!

    Certainly a lot of opinions on what I originally posted. A couple points I feel are worth noting is that my attempt to speak to someone in person at the Detroit Free Press and thus being escorted out, as well as the post here was done out of respect, nothing more and nothing less. My respect is for a symbol, a symbol of our country and all it's great people. I believe the American flag represents the people foremost, not political agendas, or corporations. It was created to empower and inspire it's citizens. The American citizen is a very special animal in this world, capable of doing amazing things. I have seen first hand what the best of us and worst and us can do in a single moment.

    I'm from Massachusetts. I have lived in the Boston area my entire life. I'm a big sports fan and have always loved the city's big events. My birthday is April 19th and is always celebrated in the same week with the Boston Marathon. Usually I take Marathon Monday off and go party somewhere along the route with friends and family.

    I will never forget what I saw on the 15th, 2013. What heroism shined brightly in the face of true evil! That's what that flag represents to me.

    No, it's not okay with me to see a torn and tattered rag of a flag.

    And the Detroit Free Press building was at the starting line to that city's weekend marathon.
