UC irvine student gov't bans flags

[WelshBloke]

We don't have many cultural symbols so we use the hell out of the ones we got.

Complete list:
Flag
Eagle
Statue of Liberty
Green Bay Packers

That's it.

you should all have a mini Statue of Liberty in your gardens with a Bald Eagle perched on top.

That would be pretty epic.

I have a life-sized statue of liberty (size of an actual person) with a turkey perched on top. Ben Franklin was right - the smart, keenly aware turkey should have been our national symbol, not some carrion scavenger.

(not really, in case someone thinks I'm serious)
edit - not really about having the statue. Really about agreeing with Ben Franklin though.)

And, as expected, the 'ban' has already been vetoed.

Then it's a good thing nobody will be able to recognize them as Americans.
