> Havel uses the example of a greengrocer who displays in his shop the sign Workers of the world, unite! Since failure to display the sign could be seen as disloyalty it reminds me of news anchors complaining about a politicians flag pin being on the wrong side (showing disloyalty) or lack of cristmas decorations/saying "happy holidays" as being anti-religion... then you have everyone being hyper worried about completely trivial things.... or is that a different phenomenon?
