Madness and Absolute Foolishness

This is insanity! Why, with all of the truly pressing issues of our day (social security reform, the war on terror, prisoner abuse, etc.) would our elected leaders waste a single minute of time on this nonsense? Folks, this is just a bad idea. Look, deep down I don't care to see old glory abused or misused, but there is a much more important underlying principle at stake here. Actually, I think that this particular quote sums up my own feelings quite well:

If the flag needs protection at all, it needs protection from members of Congress who value the symbol more than the freedoms that the flag represents." said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., whose district includes the site of the former World Trade Center.

Our rulers have already demonstrated their inability to deal with "real" issues and have courageously decided to tackle a complete non-issue!
