Outdoors Agency uproots flagpole

in my paper today, Mr Knickerbocker, leases a quarter acre in El Dorodo National Forest with a cabin. for almost two decades, for all of that time has flown a Flag. on a pole.
the forest service sent him a letter demanding the removal of the pole told him he could hang it on the cabin. their reason
" if you are puting holes in the ground where Native Americans once resided that needs an archaeological review" a Forest Service spokesman said.
Hmmm Native Americans, resided in just about all of the US at one time..
clasic example of some of out government running amuck.

edited my spelling

Good grief! That has got to be one of the stupidest things I have ever heard of the feds doing. But, yes, it's only one illustration of them running amock.

Archaeological Smarchaeolgical.. I think some one from the Forest service has too much time on their hands and maybe needs a job performance review.

for two decades a flag pole has proudly stood, now someone leases it now and the forest services comes along and tells them to take it down cause they are saying a bunch of hula about driilling holes in native american soil where native americans one recided, I don't think the native americans are gonna mind a flag proudly flying.

I really get tired of the nonesense of those who wish to prevent Americans from displaying the Flag. This story may be about disturbing Indian soil, but there have been similar instances due to other reasons. Anyone remember that one company told it's employees that they could not display the Flag at work a few days after Sept 11th because it created a hostile atmosphere for non-Americans. Geez There is also an ongoing battle in Florida (probably elsewhere also) where homeowner associations have told the homeowners that they cannot fly their flags. I believe Jeb Bush has supported legislation overruling these homeowner association restrictions, but the battle apparently continues because I heard a radio show Friday were a caller was still fighting eviction because they refuse to take down the 15" pole in their front yard that holds a 3' x 5" American Flag.

What I wonder is how the flagpole is a problem, but the cabin is not. They should tear down the cabin and reclaim the area.
