Flags at Half-Mast

If there is something I generally believe, it is that doing something over and over again makes it become meaningless. When everything is 'amazing', hearing you say it doesn't mean anything. It goes the same for when everything 'sucks'.

And I'm not just talking about phrases. I swear that 90% of the time the Old Capitol building is flying at half mast. Listen: People die. And it is a sad event. But save flying the flag at half-mast for a world leader's asasination or something! Not when some guy who's wife used to work at the Java House in the IMU dies.
When I see the flag flying at half-mast, I think it should be the death of someone whom at least 40% of the community has heard of. That is my new rule. Go--petition the Board of Regents.
