And so...you see a lot of people here that are OPPOSED to flag burning denying people free speech? Cuz...funny...I dont. Evn those that vehenently disagree with the act have said that it is still within someones 'right' to do so.
ANd you are either being dishonest or horribly naive if you truly believe it is 'just' a piece of cloth. If that were the case there wouldnt be such strong and passionate stands against the acts. The most passionate voices against flag burning typically come from people who have actually had to work and sacrifice. To those individuals I promise you...its not just a piece of cloth. But from the perspective of some spoiled little **** who has equates combat and sacrifice to giving up on the bong party early on a Sunday so he can take a midterm at 11 on Monday and then go down to the big Free Speech rally...well...totally different perspective...
It is, inherently, just a piece of cloth just like the work f*ck is just, inherently, a collection of sounds. Any other meaning attached to either is relative and not a part of the cloth or the word. Meaning is a part of the mind, not the objects we attach it to...
