But, we get ahead of ourselves.
Censorship takes many forms.
Thus, no state legislature or city council can pass a law restricting it in any way. Nevertheless, the House of Representatives, that august body of great minds that presides over our safety and well being, has passed a constitutional amendment which, if ratified by two thirds of the Senate and state legislatures in the U.S., will ostensibly forever-after prevent evil flag ravagers from having their way with Old Glory. Furthermore, it is said that the legislators in no fewer than 44 of our 50 states are drooling at the prospect of having such a wondrous campaign issue in the coming Silly Season of elections. After all, by golly, the flag and what it stands for, is still highly honored by most Americans, including yours truly. But there seem to be problems.
