Why should the rebel flag not fly?
The Rebel flag should not fly because it is offensive to African Americans. Many terrorist groups liked to fly the flag, such as the Ku Klux Klan. The Rebel Flag belongs in a museum, not in a place of honor.
NO ONE has the right to tell anyone else what they can or can not fly. As American Citizens we have the right to free speech and expression. As long as that right does not "PHYSICALLY" hurt anyone. Flying a flag that identifies you with your cultural history doesn't hurt anyone. Heck, most African Americans when asked what country they come from say Africa!........That's a continent....not a country!For a very long time before the Civil War that Dixie flag was flown. Its part of the identity and culture of many proud people. And regardless of whether you like it or nor being an American citizen gives them the right to believe that slavery is right, as long as they do not act upon those feelings and break the law. That's the problem with you nutty liberals. You believe you have the right to take everyone else's rights away. Hipocricy at its finest!

Why should you respect your country's flag?
You should show respect for your country's flag because it is your country's highest and most recognizable symbol, and the way you treat it is representative of your attitude towards your country. Obviously is you have no respect for your country, traditions, culture and history, you have no reason to show any special respect for your flag over any other piece of cloth, but if you have respect for your country, treating the flag appropriately is a manifestation of that. Flag etiquette varies somewhat from country to country, but the basics are that the flag should not touch the ground, should be kept in good repair, flown the right way up, and flown at the same height as all other national flags.

Any college flags on the moon?
No. In November 1969, the United States Congress passed a bill, signed into law by President Richard M. Nixon, stating "the flag of the United States, and no other flag, shall be implanted or otherwise placed on the surface of the moon, or on the surface of any planet, by members of the crew of any spacecraft ... as part of any mission ... the funds for which are provided entirely by the Government of the United States. ... this act is intended as a symbolic gesture of national pride in achievement and is not to be construed as a declaration of national appropriation by claim of sovereignty.
It is possible, however, that some astronauts carried very small college flags in their Personal Preference Kits, although as of today, no college flags flown to the moon have ever been put up for sale by the astronauts or anyone else. Most of the small PPK flags were state flags and flags of other countries.
