It is fantastically stupid and counter-productive for kids to be burning the US flag in the street
For one thing, it is completely uncanadian - we are not big flag-wavers, nor should we be ... [for those who don't get it, the flags in my bio are there just to piss off those whom they piss off, it's a self-selection thing-g-] ... better less emphasis on symbols, and more on substance and reason
For another, all it's going to accomplish is to inflame the already twisted ... think about it - what are the net effects of this action?
For another, it's just stupid, because in burning the flag of Leftenant Calley you are burning the flag of Mark Twain .... dumb dumb dumb, this piece of cloth represents a great deal both good and evil, as well as what, some two hundreds seventy millions of souls with a wide variety of attitudes and opinions
[this is the rough paraphrase of a lecture i gave to a young lady last night, she thought flag burning a good idea, and amusing, i sure hope she thinks differently now] |
