I think there are def better ways to voice your frustration than burning a flag, but it is allowed under the law so I respect the right to burn it. While you may or may not agree that a person should burn a flag for whatever cause, in the USA you are allowed to so I\'m all for it. If you don\'t agree with something but it is being done lawfully, you have two options:
1. Ignore them. Most of the time things like this are done for shock and awe power to draw attention to a specific cause. What would happen if the KKK held a rally and no one came? They wouldn\'t hold many more rallys in that town. They would go somewhere else where people would be outraged and will come to protest. If you protest them, a fight might break out. Then the local news will cover the fight. Then they will have free advertising, which might gain new members to their cause, which was the ultimate goal. If no one goes except people aleady in the klan, they will move on to a different town. (This has been proved with said group many, many times).
2. Do everything you can to get the law changed. Write congress, grass roots a petition, whatever it takes. Let your voice be heard. Freedom of speech is as much of a right as burning a flag. If your outraged at something and you fight for a change, you are engaging politics in a way alot more of us should be doing.
proud to be an independent. :biggrin:
