Those colors, what do they mean

I can see a lot of these flags sprouting up on my drive to work. I've always wondered if there was any meaning behind the flag, other than to make the surroundings look colorful and cheery.

Thanks to Wiki, now I know.


Of course, a flag is just a picture and a picture is just that - colored ink on material. Not much different than the shirt I wear.

So its not the flag. Its the meaning we associate with the flag and how much of our actions resonate with such ideals.

Its also a clever reminder that ultimately, flags don't change anything and neither do statues, pictures, and words.
