Flag flying etiquete

I found this on MSN and thought I'd put it out there for folks flying the flag this weekend. Just some dos and don'ts to make sure you treat our flag with the proper respect.

You are correct! all States other than Texas must fly their flag lower than the national flag, when flown in the same proximity!

Texas refused to jion the Union, unless the territory of Texas constitution was left intact, and the right to fly our flag on the same level as the national flag, and to secede from the union, by a popular vote,or to devide into two states by popular vote of Texas residents. All other states must fly the national flag at a higher level that thier state flag!

Yup. An like Mac said we have the right to withdraw from the union by popular vote. Course I think we aughta limit it to native Texans who are also US citizens, but what do I know.
