Flag Burning
The flag stands for our nation, and its values, including Freedom of Speech.
Our men are dying in Iraq, and our nation and our planet have far more serious problems than flag burning. Our nation is run by crooks who write laws to please whomever pays them the most. We are sacrificing our moral superiority by torturing people, many of whom turn out innocent, and Osama bin Laden is still on the lose, and you have the cojones to tell me it is illegal to be unpatriotic?
If the jingoistic idiots running our nation do manage to pull off that flag-burning amendment, I will only be able to conclude that our nation is in fact in deep sh_t, and the only adequate way to express that will be by burning the flag in public.
Unless I’m a big chicken.

It’s actually not hard to get around, though you’d probably need someone to video you taping the fascimiliee should you get arrested.

It’s spelled cojones, not cajones.
And yes, this country is going down the crapper. Our president is a “religious retard” (from a play doomsey and I went to last night) and our government is taking away our civil liberties. Currently, they’re trampling on our right to the freedom of expression (ie burning the flag). And nobody seems to be complaining…
“Yeah, let’s sell them cheap consumer electronics and entertain them with crappy reality tv programs and maybe they won’t notice…”

Thanks, neko. I had spelled it with an “h” at first but then realized that was going to look really wrong. :)
