Just In Case One Wondered

A reader asked in a comment section:

What's your point, Mitch? Do you want this flag burning amendment?

Well, gosh. I've only said both for years and recently that I opposed legislation banning flag burning, especially a Constitutional amendment.

Oh, I think that extinguishing burning flags should be considered a first-amendment-protected form of performance art, certainly. But I think it's be folly to alter the Constitution to ban flag burning.

However, it'd be cool if more flag burnings went like this:

Oh, relax. I don't really wish harm on anyone. But as long as it's here...
