[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it okay if I go out and wipe my ass with the Amurican flag before setting it on fire?  After all it's just a piece of cloth without symbolic meaning, right?[/quote]

You could wear it as a poncho.

Is it okay that the American flag was carried by those who slaughtered Native Americans?

This memory with flag thing has so many variables.[/quote]

It is not that complicated.  The flag represents our history, all of it, good and bad, including slavery.  We fly it with that knowledge.  The Confederate Flag is a flag made to represent the fight of the South to preserve slavery.  If we had an "Indian Extermination" flag and chose to fly that over the Oklahoma capitol, you would have a point.  Even if some Oklahoma citizens thought of it as part of their "heritage".

[b]Stop trying to use the tragedy of the Indian to establish some sort of moral equivalence regarding slavery.  It is pathetic.  Slavery stands on its own, as an evil, and finding another evil does not reduce its meaning[/b].[/quote]

What is pathetic is your assumptive leap.[/quote]

If your point was something else, I'm all ears.[/quote]
