What do you think of this quote...?

"Flags are bits of colored cloth that governments use first to shrink-wrap peoples minds and then as ceremonial shrouds to bury the dead." ~AR


Two questions;

What do you think of this quote?

What do you think Ron Paul would think of this quote if he was retired & no longer had to worry about any semblance of political correctness as a politician?

RP probably views the flag as a symbol of the spirit of the Founders and not as a symbol of blind nationalism. But yes, he would agree, since the quote doesn't equate flags with those things, but rather says that governments USE them for those things.
