Tangent: Every Small Act Department…

Well, here in the city of the big shoulders -- for many decades -- The Reverend Michael Pflager, at Saint Sabina's Southside Catholic Church. . . has taken a lead in offering Christ's social gospel as a mandate, for political action.

Now he is asking that all people of good will who believe that opposition is right course of action, related to the proposed Tangerine 2.0 cuts to social services, science spending and Medicare and Medicaid -- and unlawful immigration sweeps, particularly -- to please fly your flag upside down all weekend through Monday night.

Let your neighbors know that this is not in any manner, a morally or legally acceptable approach to "smaller government".

In truth, I never refastened my flag right side up again (but hadn't flown it in four years), because I saw no need to fly it. . . upside down, ever since Tangerine 1.0's time ended.

I flew it upside down on every major holiday, back then, though. [And if you need any more motivation to do it, it was exactly 60 years ago today that Malcolm X was assassinated.]

And so this was a super easy choice for me. See at right. . . grinning.
