But perhaps out of respect for the nation's famous luxury export, when they torch flags, they use some kind of nylon blend, which ignites quickly and burns with a thick, acrid smoke. It also leaves a gummy ash on the sidewalk, which is stomped and spread into a wide, black blotch in the last act of this little ritual.]]></description><author> Philip Kennicott</author></item></channel></rss>
