Eddie's flag/environment rant during RitFW at San Diego '98... what was up with that? I have no idea what he's trying to say. I know he's passionate about the environment so the "fuck the environment" part musta been sarcastic, but the flag part?...

Once I understand it, it will be a grade-A+ rant. Does anyone have it typed out, by any chance? I cant make out everything he's saying, either.

"You know, it's so good to know when you read in the paper...it's so good to know that there's a lotta high-paid representatives that you and I and a bunch of other people voted into office. Gave 'em good jobs and nice offices, and nice leather chairs, and a limo to drive around in, and vacations for their wives and kids. That's all well and good. I'd like to think that they have clear heads when they make decisions that affect each one of us, each and every one of us. And I'm so glad to read that right now, once again, they're talking about the problem of the burning of the flag. 'Cause you know, if there's one thing that pisses me off every day of my life, it's walking down the street and seeing all these flags burning everywhere I turn. This is the biggest fucking problem I've ever seen, and I'm fucking sick of it! I can't go out to get a cup of coffee and a paper without seeing a fucking flag burning. I can't go to a stadium... There's a flag burning everywhere--a flag burning here, a flag burning there! It doesn't matter that the oceans are going to complete shit, and you get sick every time you go surfing. There're flags burning! I don't care about the environment. Let it go to shit. Let's save the flag!! Let's save the flag!!!
