It sounds like you guys are against this coming to pass as law.
If so - why? I mean - if people are burning the US flag, isn't that a bad thing - hasn't that caused problems, especially of late?
I guess the problem with it is that it encroaches on your 'freedom'?
Unfortunately to be able to protect against some things, one has to sacrifice certain freedoms/rights in order to make it happen.
Whether this is worth it or not, I don't know - personally I think it's wrong to burn your own countries flag, but that's just my opinion.  |
I am against it because I feel that it is an encroachment on peoples freedom of expression.
I also "think" it is wrong but I would never agree to make it illegal.
I am not personally of the mindset that anyone should have to sacrifice any of their freedoms/rights to feel more comfortable or to have the illusions of protection.
