a friend of mine put it nicely in an article. If you cannot harm a flag, you take away its fundamental meaning. It is cloth, it has colors, it is material. When you put meaning behind it, you must be willing to put meaning behind the actions performed on that flag. We put freedom, liberty, trust, love, whatever behind the flag, we must be willing to accept that the freedom to have and wave the flag is just the same as the freedom to show displeasure at the gov't by burning the flag. it is not something i personally would do, but i also would not stop someone from doing it.
Soooo, legislation to restrict actions against that flag undermines the very meaning of the flag and makes it a worthless piece of cloth.
as a russian man and an american were talking, the american bragged about his freedoms. He said he could stand in front of the whitehouse and scream out the GWBUSH was a moron. The russian said his country was free too, He coudl stand in front of hte kremlin and scream that GWBUSH was a moron as well...
not to mention, it is a HUGE waste of lawmakers time at a time when there is no time
Alsoooo...i predict that the SECOND this passes, there will be people burning flags all over in protest of the law.
