Good movie, with the ever-reliable craggy-ironic universe etched on tommy lee jones' face. The flag is an important motif in the movie.

I first saw this image used in the powerful movie "In the Valley of Elah," which if you haven't seen, I recommend. I have heard over and over and over again that VOTING is what power US citizens have, but VOTING doesn't seem to do shit. This image is a public domain image, and if you feel the way I do, that you have no power to affect change, that the US government is destroying the world, and that no matter what the VOTING public seems to do, that nothing is getting better. I can't wait until next November to pretend like I have any effect on anything. We need help, and we need help from someone outside the US. </TD></tr></table></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A01C400D-733D-46E3-9A6B-6391F4E6954E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
