what, nobody noticed the Senate actually voted in favor of free speech and common sense?

Well, 1 vote over 1/3rd did, anyways.

The other 1 vote less than 2/3rds disgusts me right now, but at least they've been shamed for a few months longer...

The flag stands for many things, including our freedoms. Which is more important, the symbol, or the idea it represents? A vote to ban flag-burning is far more disrepectful of the flag than actually burning it.

good point.

Sorry, didn't mean to team up on you! If I had seen your reply above (the one starting The right to be disrespectful >is< a fundamental right - you're brook no arguments from me over that), I wouldn't have posted, but I think we were typing at the same time (look at the times on the posts).
