Flag Desecration

What a bunch of buffoons we have in congress. This stuff just makes me embarrassed. I could point out that there are more important things to be worrying about. I could point out that in a free society individual political speech should be afforded the highest protection possible. I could point out that the proper way to retire a flag is, yes, to burn it. I could wonder out loud what will become of all the "flag clothing" and how a Supreme Court would have to waste time dealing with all the ridiuclous cases that would result.

Or, I could just remind us all of one of Doonesbury's better comics one Sunday back when Poppy was pushing this nonsense. It was a flag, with the caption "what are you going to do with this newspaper now?"
