As a general rule, I don't disagree.  I block Flash on all sites, by
default.  It's usually annoying advertising, several of them, and it
bogs my computer down.

However, there are sites which do make good use of Flash.  Sites where
animation was the reason for viewing them, etc.  And you can get stuck
by some essential site (for you, such as your bank) needing Flash before
you can do what you want to do.  So it's handy to have it around.
