The only window flag that should be allowed is one that will warn other drivers that the owner is mentally/socially handicapped.
The mere presence of window flag(s) is the sign of a mental defect of some sort.

I'm especially impressed when droves of motorists have football team flags out. Are they team members? Are they cheerleaders? What???

The best one was (too bad I didn't get a pic! ) the prototypical willfully ignorant redneck: looked just like my avatar, drove a big ol' rotted out 4x4, and had a FULL SIZE FLAG on a pole sticking outta the bed. In that case, however, there probably was no discernable difference in fe i.e. miserable vs non-existent.
