Burning a Flag?

[team3six]

Well it's sad to say that your point may be true! When my father was growing up, you didnt talk back to your parents with any sort of disrespect. Not even as a joke! There was a time to speak your mind and generally followed the tune of (Speak when you are spoken to.) I also recall Women were never allowed to smoke in public, Blacks were not allowed to use the same commen area's as white people, people lived in fear that they might be labled as a Communist if they made any gesture suggesting as such, and once a mass of people once killed themselves in panic over a radio station that an anouncer named Orson Wells broadcasted without notifying the public that it was a fictional story. There was even a time that troops came home to people hating them and calling them baby killers for serving a great country over that flag we now speak of.

Yes this is true and part of being an American is also the chance for growth and learning from our mistakes, even if at the time we thought them to be good values. Part of the freedom that we hold so dear allows freedom of speech no matter what the point, gesture, or act is.

You are definately allowed to have a choice, and you are definately allowed your own voice. That is a right you have that as an American.

but, No matter how bad you think it is that people only place patriotic flags and ribbons on thier cars or homes during times of absolute destitude, Or that the only time a nation needs to pull together is when millions of lives are lost over an act of brutality or a natural disaster. Or even during one single time of year when we celebrate our independence of a nation and the only part of that celebration involves a case of beer and some fireworks! I am willing to bet that freedom tastes far better than any other country in the world could ever offer no matter how bad it is.
