I don't think so. I think the amendment people simply don't like flag burning hippies and want them arrested. The battery people, on the other hand, think that freedom is pretty important, but they also feel such a strong emotion towards the symbol and the act of it's desecration, that they feel they must act against it. They know and accept the legal ramifications of their action. Call it reverse civil disobedience if you want. -- "If I had a million dollars, I'd buy you an exotic pet...like a llama, or an emu." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:218071 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
