Whereas it is not my usual style to burn anyone's flag (it's just cheap
theatrics) perhaps the best way to voice my opinion on this would be to go
out and burn a flag.
Okay, I'd probably just burn a copy of the proposed law, but I think it's
part of the basic right to dissent. Perhaps a counterproductive avenue of
dissent, but who knows what avenue of dissent will be controlled next.

(okay, I burned Marion Zimmer Bradley's "The Firebrand", but that was a
private critique)

| Stirring the waters a bit here... I'm not sure what I think of the proposed amendment. I'm all for free speech, but I think that burning the flag is wrong too. Is there middle ground somewhere where I could find some footing? What do you think? (URL) (23 years ago, 18-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
