Burning The US Flag Is Akin to Displaying the Confederate Flag

[ProfessorGAC]

62. Look Up The Name Rick Monday

He played major league baseball for more than decade. He's known, however, for one thing.

He was considered a hero because he stopped two guys from burning a flag in Dodger Stadium. He was nearly universal hailed as a patriot.

Do you really believe that the 99% you worry about are all jingoistic, flag waving buffoons? If you look up his bio on Wiki, you'll see.

The notion of burning a flag is offensive to those to whom the issue at hand is not within the perspective. This action is likely, based upon the recent history of this very country, to change the perspective of those who weren't paying attention to one of disdain if not revulsion.

It has NOTHING to do with whether anybody on this thread gets the point. Because what you're discussing is merely tangential to the point of the OP. It has everything to do with whether this action does more harm than good. And, if you look up the name i suggested, i would hope that you see exactly what the likely reaction to flag burning may be.

And, by the way: I couldn't care less about the flag. I have NEVER flown the flag on my house at any time since i moved into my own place; and i'm 55.
