Joe,

With that theory, if marijauna was to be legalized would the use of it go 
down then? If and only if the flag burning did increase I would tend to 
think that it would only be for a small amount of time. Over time lets say a 
year, I would think that it would decrease.

As a nation we need to draw the line what people should and shouldn't do. 
Burning the flag is way over that line.

going rafting so I will continue when I get back
Matt
