Protest ANYTHING you want Griff. It's your right.

But.

FUCK YOU FOR CALLING THE PEOPLE THAT GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO SAY WHAT YOU WANT "a bunch of drunks".

That rather lengthy list includes a lot of people I love and RESPECT. (you'll prolly hafta look that one up.)

And I don't give the first flying fuck about how "impassioned" someone is when they insult my flag and my country...If I see some guy burning my flag, he's getting kicked in the nuts.

I support your right to tell me to fuck off. As I am in no way a flag worshiper, I don't have the training to understand why a haphazard pile of flags on a dirty parking lot by a BBQ is better handling than a Bic on the Capital steps. We can argue about the "gave me the right" part when I'm in the mood to piss off 90% of the board.

Stop making me chuckle when I'm trying to be pissed off.

GM got (getting?) billions in their bailout. Chrysler? Billions. Banks? Billions and billions. Me & Griff? Our bailout? A beer.

I always thought there was a ceremony for burning a tattered/torn/dirty flag. It's usually done with respect. Those guys look like they are VFW or American Legion. So I would say they are burning old tattered flags. Nothing wrong with that.

As far as freedom of speech. The one thing I know is as long as the speech doesn't interfere or disrupt another persons pursuit of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, then it's protected. Once it started interfering with those, then there's a problem. Things like slander are not protected. You can get in a lot of trouble for calling someone a lier or cheater, but you can pretty much get away with calling them mutherf*cker and other colorful terms. Just watch Penn & Teller's show "Bullshit". If someone wants to protest by burning a flag, then fine. As long as they don't have a problem with me tossing buckets of water on it when they light it.

That my
