A More Reasonable Position

Why have all the flagpoles,
Beed reduced to stand...
At half of their normal height?

'To keep the appearance of lowering the flag,
To half mast at each recurring tragedy.
It is believed that the doing of this,
Helps to reduce the actual frequency...
Of these occurrences.

And...
The act of doing this was determined to be,
More practical.
Instead of pressuring the people,
To accept today's realities.
With an elimination of forcing them to face their dilemmas,
Headon! '

Yeah.
I can see that.
That is a more reasonable position to take.
It relieves those of replacing their delusions.
