Now, the Senate gets to vote on it, even though it's already been rejected...(They have to waste time, don't you know...) You look in the news, and you almost always see some shit about burning the flag, and the taking away of our freedom of speech. A freedom that we in the computer Society have known was being robbed from us for years. And, since there are so many debates going on over burning the GLORIOUS flag of the GREAT United States, I thought I'd say a few words on the subject myself. Burn the goddamned flag! They say we're burning the "Symbol Of America And All It Stands For." All the more reason to burn the flag! America stands for money and greed, political and social corruption, egotism and laziness, pollution and crime, loss of freedom and oppression by the Greyfaced bastards that run the joint. If that's what the flag stands for, then burn them ALL. This country was founded on some DAMN good principles. One of those was a LIMITED centralized government. The founding fathers INTENTIONALLY placed restrictions on what the government could and could not do. They saw the problems that an overly powerful government could and would cause. These days, our 'limited' government is proving them absolutely correct. They strip our rights and ignore our own desires. They ignore what we have to say about the way things are going. They feed us lies and propaganda and BULLSHIT. And most of the fucks in this country swallow it all...and defend that stupid piece of fabric with a nice design on it we call a flag. But is it the flag that stands for the country, or the country that stands for the flag? The latter. The country is supposed to defend the flag. How does it do that? It defends the flag by standing up for the values that the flag was originally a sign of. Freedom of speech and thought and action. Equality. Is the country doing that? NO! It continually sticks its arrogant nose into the business of other countries that don't WANT our 'help'. It bans a plant that could do more good for the environment than any other (marijuana). It constantly spends money on things like researching the sexual habits of hermit crabs, ignoring things like serious research into the AIDS virus, space exploration, and education. So how can we show displeasure? We can't burn the COUNTRY because there aren't enough TREES left. What can we possibly do to express our opinion over the way the American government has become? By burning the precious symbol that the country is supposed to defend but usually just shits on. They tell us we can't express our opinion that way. Fuck them! The real issue behind flag burning is this: Within this GREAT country, there are many intelligent human beings that realize just how bad this country has become. They see the corruption that permeates every level of the government and our very society. They recognize the danger we are ALL in by letting the country continue it's downward plunge. And the government just can't take anyone telling them what they're doing wrong. It hates to be wrong, and it KNOWS it is wrong. If this country was such a grand thing to be proud of, NOONE would WANT to burn the flag! SOMETHING is wrong! IGNORE the issue of whether the flag burning is RIGHT or WRONG! Figure out WHY people want to burn the flag! CORRECT that! Give us ONE good reason to be proud of this country! Give us ONE good reason NOT to burn the flag! And give us one good reason why we should sit on our asses and let our freedoms and rights be stripped away from us by an oppressive and insensitive government. We should not. Stand up for your rights. Write your congressmen/women. Write your Senators and Representatives, your newspapers and magazines. We are guaranteed certain INALIENABLE rights. They government CANNOT take away out rights unless we LET it! The government NEEDS us. WE can strip its power! If you take a stand, vote and spread your opinions to the public, we can get our rights BACK. The situation will not get any better by itself. Left alone, this tumor will grow. Do you want to live in a fascist police state? I don't. (c)June 1990 Bloody Afterbirth/Toxic Shock -more will be said on this subject- The Big Brothers Are Watching You.
