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.
Well you should be. If burning anything is an infraction of the law, then burning the flag is the same infraction with the same penalties; most likely a small fine and/or some community service. I do not have a problem with this equal enforcement of a constitutional law. Not enforcing the law in the latter case I'm sure has more to do with political rather then legal reasons. That is a separate debate. But I am against an amendment to make the act of burning a flag illegal no mater where one does it. Nor can I accept blatant support for violence or other illegal activity against those whom choose to protest in this manner. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
