Okay, right, this was a feel-good measure passed unanimously. Nevertheless, it:
- addressed a real, if not earth-shattering, problem
- in the right way
- and solved it
Compare to banning flag-burning, which is (sadly) probably protected; banning gay marriage, which threatens to be the first time in our history that a Constitutional Amendment -removed- people's rights; banning stem cell research, which is arguably a valuable scientific tool for saving thousands or millions of lives. They're all a lot more difficult, and some may not pass.
Whereas every American -should- have the right to display the Flag on their own property, and these homeowners' associations and their stupid restrictions can kiss my a$$. I'm glad this bill was done, even if it -was- a pandering distraction.
