A Flag-scapade on Main Street!
Some people want to have a conversation about American History. (Josh loves American history) But the form of this conversation is about a symbol, the flag... When the Axe and Fiddle (popular restaurant and bar on Main Street) decided it didn't want an American flag flying outside its place, the American Legion got mad and waved a lot of American flags. What happens when discussions about society and history become arguments over a flag? Tune in to listen to the story of the flag-scapade on Main Street. It seems to Josh that discussions about the flag may be off limits--for some, it is not politically correct to take down a flag. If you like this episode, you may be interested in this discussion by a Soviet dissident about a "green grocer" who has a symbolic banner on his store and how it is impossible for him to take down the patriotic sign. That powerful essay is here: https://www.nonviolent-conflict.org/resource/the-power-of-the-powerless/ comments? email us at: encountercg@gmail.com
