I would be arrested if I lit a towel on fire at the front steps of the Louisiana State Capital as part of a protest. However, I would not if it were a flag. The reason I would be arrested for lighting the towel on fire was I would be burning it in an inappropriate place, was breaking the peace and not having a peaceful assembly. I would probably end up with misdemeanor, but I would still be arrested and taken away from the scene.
In this case my arguement is perfectly relevant. >It's not that I don't like it, it's that it's IRRELEVANT to a discussion >about a flag burning amendment. > >If it's illegal to burn something in public, then there's no need for a >flag burning amendment. > >The point of a flag burning amendment is not to prevent people from >starting open fires in a public place. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:218109 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
