I just had a couple updates to some old posts.
Flag Burning: When I wrote this post, I forgot to mention the other half of what I wanted to say.
While I don't think flag burning should be a crime, I think that people who hear of a protest where flags will be burned should come with forms to help the burners renounce there citizenship. If they really think America sucks so bad, then they obviously don't want to be citizens anymore. Help them out. Are there such forms?
If they are not citizens, suggest that they leave the country whose freedoms they are enjoying and yet they despise. Frankly that would go for citizens too.
Eminent Domain: Rhymes With Right has an article about an eminent domain case where the city "fairly compensated" the owner $14,000 for his property but then sold it to a developer for $60,000. Read all the way to the end and you can get the gist of why we need to be wary of corruption in our government.
Kyoto Protocol: QandO has found an article pointing out how a good portion of the first world countries that signed the Kyoto Protocol are going to fail to meet their goals. These are the countries that pooh-poo'd us for not signing but it appears that they aren't really doing anything to meet their self-imposed obligations.
This isn't an update but Arial wanted me to mention that tonight we passed up free ice cream. We went to the weekly concert put on by the city (and paid for by everyone, even those who don't go). As we were leaving, they were giving away Klondike Bars (which are apparently Kosher, or so we were told). But since we are trying to lose weight we passed it up.
That is will power.
