23. Practically everyone in our neighborhood flies the flag

The local scout troop has a fundraiser every year in which they commit to flying a flag on your yard on every major flag holiday. It's a popular fundraiser. The only thing that makes me uneasy about it is that people that opt not to donate stand out like a sore thumb. After seeing some terrible United Way abuses a couple of decades ago, I'm a bit uneasy with socially coercive fundraisers.
