Not again. Please. Not again. Is there a psychologist in the house who can explain why HOA directors do this?

(12/03/04 - HOUSTON) — The American flag is in the middle of a fight between a west Harris County man and his homeowners association.
"Old Glory" has been sitting on Charles Watson’s front lawn on Glen Eagles near Grousemoor for more than five years, but his homeowner's association now says it must go. It claims the former serviceman, who has family serving in Iraq, did not get prior approval before making home improvements, and the flag is in violation. The flag can be mounted on the house, but not on the lawn.

Neighbors don’t object to the flag’s placement, and Watson refuses to move it, saying he has earned the right to display the flag. The association has until December 7 to respond to paperwork filed by Watson.
