a number of modern flags are now made largely of polyester and when they burn they melt. That means if they are whirled around by a protester, his or her fellow protesters could be splashed by flying pieces of burning material. If it got into the eye it could do serious damage


One can only hope.

That's a feature, not a bug. ;-p

#4 I wouldn't call this grovelling, I would call it liability-lawsuit aversion. And you can't tell me that some dumbass protestor wouldn't immediately sue for damages sustained.

#6 Someone gave me this advice once: "If it floats, flies, or f*cks, it's generally cheaper to rent."

Too bad I didn't listen...
