"I submit that when people here say they would die for their flag they really mean that they would die for what their flag stands for and are mysteriously conflating the two." If your flag stands for something, and all you do is stand by and let it get desecrated, thereby letting what it represents get desecrated, no point in having a flag to represent something.http://www.co59.org/iwo-9-11-final.jpg In my previous post, I tried to show you the role of a flag where it's use had life and death consequancies for those around it as well as it's role on the field of battle. You lose or don't protect your flag, you might lose the battle and your cause. Say, if I dress up a "dummy" that looks androgenous, put a sign around it's neck that says "Faggot" and burn it in public, will I be arrested for hate speech?? Or am I just expressing my self politcally??
