Originally posted by Clovis I agree with this. It sounds pretty stupid at first, but with the ridiculous influx of flag bumper stickers, car-flags, and overall rampant blind patriotism after September 11th, I think we have already devalued our flag to the point where burning one isn't really much worse. The number of times I've been sitting in traffic disgusted at the SUV in front of me with a faded, 6 year old "THESE COLORS DONT RUN" sticker, it's just ridiculous. Our flag is cheap and worthless these days, and entirely because of our own doings. Theres a reason why I rock the french one on TA these days

I was being sarcastic :/

I agree that it's lost a lot of its meaning, but I also think that treating it like a yes/no vote on a given issue only contributes to that deterioration.

wuh?

Then you'de agree that njweedmans flag-burning is a legitimate protest. You might as well burn the flag if the constititution no longer becomes the basis of legislation.
