It's not easy being green: Howard's post about green being the color of Islam reminds me of a something I did a long time ago. When I was in second grade, my teacher gave the class an assignment to draw an American flag. There happened to be a girl in the class from Israel whose father was in America on sabbatical. The teacher said she could draw an Israeli flag. Well that opened the floodgates. American flags are hard to draw (especially if you have as little artistic talent as I have) so I asked if I could draw another country's flag. For some reason, the teacher agreed and so I submitted the sovereign flag of Libya. Even at the time I thought they had a stupid looking flag, but I guess it makes sense now. For those who don't get it, click here.
