BILL HICKS: Flying the Flag of Freedom
Does it bug me to see Americans burning the American flag? Yeah, sure it does. The flag is a symbol representing all the good things about our country (bad things too), but do I think it should be a crime to burn an Americn flag? Hell no. No damn way.
It's absolutely un-American to say that some dude who buys a flag from the store down the street couldn't burn that flag on his own front lawn. His right to express himself is guaranteed under the Constitution. If that's how Joe Flag Burner wants to express himself, then let him have his flag barbecue in peace, and if you're so wrought with grief over Joe's flag burning then you also have the right to picket Joe from the nearest public sidewalk.
