Apparently, it is the day they adopted the flag.
So dissidents can steal flags that people put up on the 14th and burn them the next day.
I'll definetely be participating.

It's illegal (sadly) to burn flags in the US, right?
No actually I don't think it is. In the back of my history textbook there is a little section on how too treat a flag with respectAnyhow, it says once a flag is tattered to use, you should fold it and burn it.

The last time I was sentenced to death, I ordered four hyper-vodkas for my breakfast. All a bit of a blur after that... I woke up in bed with both of my executioners. Lovely couple, they stayed in touch! Can't say that about most executioners. - Captain Jack Harkness

I remember them recently trying to pass legislation to make it illegal, there was much controversy on the topic. I don't remember them ever passing it, although I could be wrong.

Well, it is America. If you don't fly a flag then you're an enemy of the state!

"As the world of the spectacle extends its reign it approaches the climax of its offensive, provoking new resistances everywhere. These resistances are very little known precisely because the reigning spectacle is designed to present an omnipresent hypnotic image of unanimous submission.

"(The) working class exists and struggles in all countries, and has the same enemies in all countries – the police, the army, the unions, nationalism, and the fake ‘socialism’ of the bourgeois left. It shows that the conditions for a worldwide revolution are ripening everywhere today. It shows that workers and revolutionaries are not passive spectators of inter-imperialist conflicts: they have a camp to choose, the camp of the proletarian struggle against all the factions of the bourgeoisie and all imperialisms." -ICC, Nation or Class?
