OUTSTANDING post....I am a former member of the military, and a current political science/history majr in DC (just establishing the bonafides) this country is based on ideals, the ideal of freedom of speech is one...in my opinion it is symbolic, of what who knows, but symbolic none the less, as is cross burning, or bra burning or whathaveyou. I think moves like burning a cross or flag, are suppsed to cause discussion, they are there to push an issue to the front of a persons brain, and make them, impel them to speak out on it, whether for against, pro or con. I am personally wholeheartedly FOR free speech, until it intereferes with ones personal safety or well being, or threatens PRIVATE property...(burn public shit to the ground for all I care)....love to hear the responses to this one....
