Creating Common Sky: Conversations in a Fractured World

Reclaiming Patriotism a.k.a. Matriotism

Episode Summary

Musings about Patriotism and the implicit meaning of flag waving. What would it be for the Matriots to reclaim the symbol of our country and thereby re-enchant its projection.

Episode Notes

Wendy muses about what it means to wave a flag.  How is it that people who storm the capital with the intent to overthrow the government can mount a bayonet on the end of a flag and not have that be incongruous.  How is it that symbols become attached to meanings that are not originally ascribed to them.
