It's not exactly a
washcloth we're talking about. It's not the actual woven fibers that are an issue. It's the meaning, and the symbolism, attached to those woven fibers that lend the emotionalism given to it.
Hmmm...washcloth. I should imagine that should I, for whatever reason, set fire to a towel, or even a blanket, in the middle of the street, I would be arrested. Surely, if nothing else, I would be in violation of some anti-pollution law, or anther...right? I mean, you can't go around setting fires when and where you feel like it...can you? So, why
do we need to ammend the Constitution? We don't. Just tighten up the fire code.
