all the patriotism bullshit is just that: bullshit. not many of the people being patriotic now were very patriotic before september 11th. yeah, it's nice to see people stand up for their country, but i'd be willing to bet you a lot of money (that i don't even have)that MOST of those people STILL, and will for a long long time, take all of that shit for granted.
of course it's exploitation. yay, wow, i can open a website at americanflags.com. one that sells american flags, because the market's hot for them. give me a fucking break. everyone was selling flags, stickers, pins, etc.
oh well, that's life.
