it's not bad at all BUT that's how it starts. Think of the government as a spoiled child. You succumb to their begging and then they get what they want. you roll over and sleep because it's "what the hell it's not that bad". dangerous thinking because power corrupts.

Protesting about small things that dont matter overall is whats holding the country together i think. If more people got pissed when even the smallest liberty is taken away then the government wouldnt dream of wanting more than that.

I'd rather be a proud citizen saying that it's perfectly legal to burn a flag but look around...noone's doing it because we love the country THAT much. It kinda detracts from the ideal if it's forced upon.
