33. There's A Difference Between Burning A Flag
and yelling fire in a crowded theater...


Burning the flag is a legitimate form of expression which I would never partake in and yelling fire in a crowded theater creates an imminent danger because people will run out in an unorganized mass and folks will get trampled...

It's not a deal breaker for me but I take the Bill Of Rights very seriously....

Also, Bob Kerrey won the Medal of Heart while losing his leg for the country and saw fit to vote against the Amendment and so did another war hero by the name of John Kerry...

The right to disagree shouldn't just be limited to the things don't really matter...
