For the Record...

Since I've gotten several e-mails on the subject, the U.S. flag in my picture is actually hung in the correct fashion - the problem is that the picture in question was taken with the iSight camera on my MacBook Pro, which mirrors the images. I'll correct it in the near future.

As for why a U.S. flag, I would note that my pictures also show me with the Red Ensign, which actually holds pride of place in my living room. I also have, displayed proudly, the Union Jack and the Israeli Flag as well.

Of course, the issue of my many-fold loyalties is too long for a quick blog post. To put it simply - if such a thing is possible - I would simply say that I consider my highest loyalty as being to the English-speaking peoples and am confident that any issue of division will never seriously come up, insofar as I never again expect any of the English-speaking nations to war with eachother (or, really, be anything but allies) again. In an ideal world, I would take out citizenships in all of the Anglo-American world. In my own lifetime, I aspire to take on at least two.
