Flag and Freedoms
An attempt was made once again to curtail American freedoms. It's politic to defend the flag at all costs, but it's really unAmerican. The flag should be respected, but to add an anti-flag burning amendment to the Constitution dishonors the constitution, by trivializing an important document. Such an amendment, also, could be used to silence contrariarian voices -- much as the current administration is trying to do with the press.
Security is important, as is protecting revered objects -- but if we loose our cherished freedoms then there is little reason to be an American. What makes being an American special is the freedom I have to worship as I please, speak as I please about my government, and read a free an unfettered press.
May the flag every fly free, but not at the cost of my freedom!
