> How does burning a piece of cloth disrespect a country and everything it represents? If you think so, then you've elevated the flag to the level of a religious idol, which is certainly not what our founding fathers intended.
Symbols are exactly that to the majority of people, in their tribal minds and hearts. As for the founding fathers thing, it doesn't matter what they thought or felt. What is sensible, given the range of the Cosmos? If you're gonna pull rabbits out of hats, you might as well go all the way.
Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
