We've had this discussion before. Answer - yes, down with the laws on flag burning/desecration and whatnot. Even though I think it's despicable and hypocritical, freedom entails having to deal with things we dislike. Banning something merely because we dislike it opens the doors to tyranny.
they did a King of the Hill episode about this one time.
well sort of. except it wasn't exactly flag desecration, but about toilet seat desecration. well not exactly desecration, but water usage. and it wasn't exactly water usage, per se, but more like low-flow toilets versus the regular kind. well, it really wasn't about low-flow toilets as much as it was about nepotism. well, not so much about nepotism but rather about the city councilman's brother-in-law had a factory that made low-flow toilets, so the city councilman talked his colleagues into passing a law that required all Arlen toilets to be replaced with low-flow toilets, to save water. Hank's wife, Peggy, has huge bowel movements, apparently, and the 3.8 gpf toilets wouldn't accomodate her excrement. So hank ran for city council, unopposed, and then had the law overturned by filibustering them to boredom. Sort of a nod to old what's his name. Jimmy Stewart, I think.
Actually, the more I think about it, the King of the Hill episode to which I'm referring wasn't really about flag desecration at all. So, I hope no one actually read this far.
