A single incident in all the history of flying flags on schoolgrounds in Michigan does not call for a $%^&@! law! The sky is not falling. The other poles are OK... I checked!

Sorry, was getting a bit facetious there. But everything is not a crisis. Lansing is regulating everyday life to the point of absurdity. Stop it already!
