outdoors in public in CA? I live in a very diverse city in Los Angeles. The other day I noticed that there was an American flag as well as that of another country's flag flying side by side. I know that there are rules and regulations about flying the American flag. I was wondering if anyone knew what that would be. I've been told a variety of things. While one person may find it offensive to see the flags flying side by side, another person may be proud to see that.
