Has patriotism in the U.S. become political?

Curious, what other flags are you flying? IU?
Sure, usually on game days. I have four different IU flags in the rotation. I have a Navy flag. An Army flag which I've flown when my Army friends and relatives visit. Several Cowboys flags, which I didn't fly as often as usual this year. An OSU flag (I taught there) which I only fly on game days which don't conflict with IU game days. Reds flags. First Navy Ensign (red and white don't tread on me flag). Dont Give Up the Ship. POW/MIA. Northern Arizona University flag (daughter went there for grad school). Indiana, California, Arizona and Hawaii state flags. Checkered flags for some days in May (Indy 500, Kentucky Derby, etc.). I even have a Texas Tech flag which I flew when Bob Knight coached there. Haven't flown that one since. Several others. Obviously, too many!

Yep. I once collected music and had about 3,000 albums and CDs which seems relatively dumb now that we can listen to about anything we want on a streaming service and on demand. I did rip all the music to my computer.

I do like flags. The ones I've collected recently are historical flags.
There's a thin line between collecting and hoarding.

I'm a collector though. Definitely. Nay, a curator.

That’s awesome @Aloha Hoosier I have the jersey or t shirt for 99 percent of the teams I’ve played for since high school. Hundreds of jerseys and shirts. That’s what is so sad about these fires. People can’t replace that shit.

My dad was the same way. Still has hundreds of vinyl, 8-tracks, cassettes and ~6,500 CDs (many of which by the way overlap with other formats). Despite my pleas, he refuses to purge that or anything else that sits around collecting dust.

None of it has any value, so I'm literally going to hire a junk hauling service and purge everything.

Actually, after I ripped all my CDs to the computer. I sold a lot of them to Amazon. Most returned a couple of bucks, but a few would be 20 or 30 bucks since they were relatively rare.
