Bah, what's flag burning going to do. I'm up for some politician burning... Though I must say, long live Jimmy Carter.
I'll console everyone by stating the fact that that's not even going to be voted on. But still, thats ludicrous bullshit. I saw my roomate with a big 'ol bag of weed this morning... I haven't smoked in like half a year, and now I'd be a felon?
The point wouldn't be to put everyone in jail, but to give the government the power to jail any single individual they felt like. "The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor objectively interpreted--and you can create a nation of law-breakers--and then you cash in on guilt." --Ayn Rand
