i've been pretty clear about the frameworks within which it's status as protected speech is a problem. i've also been clear about the fact that i regard this as a complicated problem, negociating between protected political speech and incitement or the actions like yelling fire in a crowded theater.
so i'm not interested in your metaphysical "how is fish like wombat?" question.
sorry.

I'm sorry as well, for the only thing I'm left to regard is that you're ridiculous comparison is total hypocrisy, that only in YOUR mind can burning one symbol be unprotected hate speech while the burning of another symbol, despite the potentiality for violent response, isn't incitement at all, but should be considered irrational responses to protected free speech.
