Flag Burning

[ArlJim78]

You know it's an election year when they trot out this old chesnut. Like Pgrdn implied we should all be so thrilled that they're working on the important issues of the day! lol How much flag burning is going on anyway? What about other forms of flag disrespect? If burning is banned what about soiling the flag with excrement. That would also be repugnant to Americans. Would we need another ammendment to handle that?

Personally I'd rather live in a country were such things are allowed even though the act is deemed repugnant and disresptful by most everyone.

On the political spectrum I'm rather hawkish on security/defense issues, conservative on financial issues, and tolerant to liberal on social issues.
Generally have been aligned much more with Republicans over the years but they have just lost their way since they took over congress.

Is there a NY Times thread related to the leak? This one has my blood boiling and I'm ready for a million man march on NY to protest outside of the NY times building. I want to see zealous prosecution of this offense like they did when they went after the leaker in the Valerie Plame case.
