In America ~ The American Flag Needs To Be Approved?
NEW YORK (AP) - A relative of a Sept. 11 victim is fighting his co-op board, which wants him to remove a magnetized American flag from his door.
Vincent Romano said Monday he put the flag on the door right after the attacks in 2001 to commemorate his wife’s cousin, who died at the World Trade Center.
“In memory of her and my own feeling of being upset about what happened, I put the flag up and said I wasn’t taking it down until they caught Osama Bin Laden,” he said.
He and his wife last week received a letter from the building property manager saying the flag had to come down by Monday because of the rules of the Brooklyn housing cooperative. The co-op objected to anything that could damage the paint on the door, but he pointed out that the magnet would leave the paint unharmed.
Co-op board lawyer Ezra Goodman said the problem was not the paint. Shareholders in the co-op are not allowed to display anything in public spaces, including doors, without the board’s approval, he said.
The board needs to approve the American flag? This is completely ludicrous ...

Wow. That was unexpected. Thanks. (I don't do gatorade, though.)...
