What are we Thinking!

This may be inflammatory, but why would we consider burning the American Flag and/or stuffed dummies in effigy a freedom of speech issue, yet want to ban the Noose?

Surprisingly, I am against banning flag burning. I am also against outlawing words. And, I am against outlawing symbols.

This does not mean that using them is right. Point of fact there are a lot of things I don't think are right and would not do, but feel Americans should have the right to do them. Just because your actions make you an asshole, does not mean you don't have the right to be one.

Although few and far between, and many probably have deeper stories than their anecdotal meanings, there are cases where children have been suspended or expelled from schools for wrongly interpreted rules. A school bans weapons and a kindergartner gets expelled for bringing in their Nerf shooter, or a young lady gets suspended for her nail file. Towns create ordinances about what can be displayed in their front yards, and people end up getting fined for having flags waving on the 4th of July or Nativity scenes during Christmas. If we start banning nooses are games of hang man going to get kids in trouble? Are certain classic Halloween decorations going to get people fined or arrested?
