Flag burning should be banned in the United States...
Daschle is vulnerable this year from what I heard on the radio. This could take him down. Good ridance.
Burning the flag is right up their with Blasphemy to me, and anyone caught doing it should be charged with treason and thrown in prison for the rest of their stinking lives!!!
The major problem with such a law is that laws consistently function on verifiable quantification in most every respect. Thus, if a U.S. flag is defined as having the dimentions of 3 feet by 5 feet, then the cranks will just make a 2.5 foot by 4.5 foot flag and burn that.
What's more, burning the flag is an acceptable means of retiring a flag. Such practices are done with reverence and sincerity. The punks burn the flag in anger. So, in effect, we are not outlawing an action; we are outlawing an attitude.
That's pretty damned dangerous territory to tread. The Leftists have been doing as much with their idiotic "hate speech" crap. I'm not so sure we should venture into that domain...
