Thread: Mexican Flag Subject Of Dispute Between Raleigh Attorney, Ci

http://www.wral.com/news/8996016/detail.html

RALEIGH, N.C. -- A Raleigh lawyer's decision to hang the Mexican flag outside his East Martin Street office has created some controversy in downtown.

Terence McEnally, an American, said displaying the flag is partly to advertise to his primarily Hispanic clientele and partly to demonstrate pride in the country.

But the flag would fly over city property and encroach on that space.

The city questions the advertising aspect of McEnally's desire to hang the flag. Raleigh's Law and Public Safety Committee decided Tuesday to study the issue further before ruling on whether flying the flag violates a city ordinance.

McEnally said the controversy brings up a number of free-speech issues. If people can fly American flags and NASCAR flags, why not a Mexican one, he asked.

This article reminds me of a joke I got the other day (well I guess it's a joke)

Subject: THE OLD PASTOR

An old pastor was dying. He sent a message for an IRS agent and his lawyer to come to the hospital. When they arrived, they were ushered up to his room. As they entered the room, the pastor held out his hands and motioned for them to sit on each side of the bed. The pastor grasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled, and stared at the ceiling. For a time, no one said anything.


Both the IRS agent and lawyer were touched and flattered that the old pastor would ask them to be with him during his final moments. They were also puzzled because the pastor had never given any indication that he particularly liked either one of them.


Finally, the lawyer asked, "Pastor, why did you ask the two of us to come here?" The old pastor mustered up some strength, then said weakly,


"Jesus died between two thieves, and that's how I want to go, too."

I just e-mailled that jerk.
