    Khaavern, you're right -- I was not advocating making new laws -- there are already laws on the books for dealing with "unlawful" assemblies. These lemminglike protesters need to remember that. I say the best way to teach them is to break a few bones if they do anything illegal. They're too stupid to learn otherwise.

    Oh, yes. Teach them the law by breaking it. Makes sense to me. :shake:

    Demonstrations, especially unruly ones, are an American tradition. Has anyone here ever heard of the Boston Tea Party? It was hardly a legal "party." How about the demonstrations against the Stamp Act. Really, a few of you sound like reactionary Tories. ;) I would also suggest that anyone who is interested in early American history to also reference the Sons of Liberty, or the events of the Boston Massacre. Americans love to protest - it's been in our blood since the beginning.

    Why not include defacing or burning the American flag in that list there? Simple solution right there.

    Burning the flag in front of a crowd, whether in public or on private property should be illegal. I have read that when a Canadian flag is worn out and tattered, it is disrespectful to continue to fly it, so it must be burned, but in a furnace or closed stove with no ceremony or statement involved.

    That is true, and probably should continue, but certain lines should not be crossed. I simply take the position that burning or defacing the Flag should be one of those things that is not to be tolerated.
