Well, I've been to SF and I was quite surprised by the number of USA flags which were displayed there, so apparently it's not only Texas..
And nationalism isn't a good thing in my book as each country has a lot of skeletons in its closets..

>USA government != USA people

Well, USA people still elected Ronald Reagan, Bush Jr (twice!!), elections which were quite surprising for a foreigner like me (not that us French did much better with Sarkozy..).

So displaying a country's flag necessarily implies nationalism?

Interesting.

So can we agree that this conversation has gone far enough off topic that it's maybe best continued in a different venue? Thanks.
