In reply to the discussion: They've Burned The Constitution... Why Not The Flag ??? [View all]Joe Shlabotnik
(5,604 posts)I have very strong feelings in support of Occupy, and hope it has and will continue to bring about much needed change. But frankly, lets put this issue to bed. I'm sick of it. We all know what we each of us saw, and some even think they know what they may not have seen. And debating multiple points with conflicting contexts is not getting anyone any further. Usually I'm all for debate, but at this rate, we'll still be debating what the greatest indignity was, long after the media has skipped on to it's newest sensational story.
So I propose, those who support OWS, in sincerity with clear intentions and clean conscience go forward and continue to be the change.
I propose that no-one burns any flags since that gets us no-where. Unless of course you have your heart set on burning a flag, (which we've established, ad nauseam is your constitutional right), then please show some courtesy, and respect the passionate feelings of those to whom you may offend. Therefore, with the general consensus being that flag burning will not further OWS reputation, or make people happy, please hold your own very special flag burning rally.
I propose that all the Dems here, work real hard to re-elect Obama, a Dem congress, and progressive values.
and I propose to any haters of OWS, do what you gotta do in the meantime. (OWS is playing the long game)
There are we all good? NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP!
