We care.. You may have no love for your country's national symbols and heritage, and this is your right. You should though accept, that most people still care about such things and thus, they should be faced as reality. In all, you do not have to agree with a problem in order for it to be a problem. It was yet another provocative action taken by this state's politicians, not because we are right in our claims (which of course I think we are), but because they went out and did it (and the statue of Philip II, and the renaming of their national airport etc etc) despite their knowing how we, their neighbors, would feel. So, you might feel that all this situation is nothing important, but to us, all this effort they make to make us angry has to be somehow rewarded... And no, they do all this to piss us off and in the process create a nationalistic feeling, so important to keep alive a state with such powerful and competitive minorities.
