*FOOD
FOR THOUGHT: We now have enough subscribers to support TvNewsLIES.org
if every subscriber to this mailing list donated $1
per month!* If we doubled the size of our list it would
only take $0.50 per week. Being financed to this point would mean
that TvNewsLIES could pay for its
overhead and any money over this amount could go towards hiring
reporters and expanding the new radio program. It would also allow
TvNewsLIES could repay my original
investment so that I can do things like pay the rent and buy food!
Just something to think about.

*TVNL Editor's Comments: An
American Flag Made in China*
The
owner of the Amp & Guitar Wellness Center in Brooklyn is a
very good friend of mine. His name is Jeff and he is a terrific
guy. He is one of those rare business men who would rather make
less money and do the right thing than cheat a customer. To me
that is what America is supposed to be all about.
Six
days per week Jeff, or one of his staff, pulls up the gates and
opens the charming little music shop that is hidden away in a cozy
corner of Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn; a tiny neighborhood filled
with a mix of blue collar workers and six figure city folk. Every
day it's the same thing; gates up, alarm off, and if the sky is
clear the flag is raised in front of the shop. The American flag,
that is. Jeff served his nation in the Army and now he pays his
respect to his nation by presenting the flag each day.
Windsor
Terrace is an ethnically diverse neighborhood, but it has not
always been so. Until recently Windsor Terrace was primarily
working class white; home to more that it's share of police,
firefighters and sanitation workers. Republicans. Yellow ribbon
bsupport the troopsb types. To get a feel for the old
world Windsor Terrace just pay a visit to Farrell's bar on
Prospect Park West, any weekday, at 8:00, AM! Yep, even early in
the morning you will see the shift workers unwinding in the only
bar in the area that is open so early. And to answer your
question...no, they don't serve breakfast...just beer, and only
one kind of beer, Bud...and of course the standard hard liquors.
Don't expect to get a Margarita there either! Farrell's is an
American bar! (Actually...they may serve Margaritas, but I bet
you'll get a lot of funny looks if you order one!)
Peruse
the neighborhood on any hard core American holiday and you will
see more American flags than you can count. Homes and businesses
alike all pay host to that star spangled banner. Windsor Terrace
residence sure love their country and they show their support for
their nation by hanging that American flag out every chance they
get.
So
I was in my friend Jeff's shop a few weeks back while he was
drilling holes in the bricks in front of his shop. He was
installing a new mount for his brand new American flag. You see
the old one was getting a bit tattered so Jeff went out and bought
a brand new American flag, complete with poll, mounting kit and a
plastic eagle that sits atop the flag pole. The entire scene was
like a living Norman Rockwell painting. A hard working American
small business owner mounting an American flag in front of his
small business in an American neighborhood filled with proud
Americans. There was only one problem with this scene...the
American flag that was about to be mounted had a little tag on it.
Written on that tag...bMADE IN CHINAb!
I
am not sure why I am writing about this or how I feel about this.
But one thing hit me about seeing an American flag that was made
in another nation...I wondered why in the world anybody would ever
manufacture the flags of nations other than their own? I wondered
what would lead to the need for Americans to import their own
flag. I am not sure why I am disturbed by this, but I am. I can
not exactly make a statement here other to say there is something
very unsettling about living in a nation where we have to import
our own flag!
I
wonder how many of those gung ho American patriots in Windsor
Terrace, or around America for that matter, have imported American
flags. I wonder how many of those who do...realize it. And I
wonder how many of those who realize it...care. *Think about
it. Jesse Richard b Editor, TvNewsLIES.org*
