[QUOTE="Man_of_the_Century:454343"]ShadowSD said:[QUOTE]Nah, in that case, why would people like Stein or anyone else make a big deal about the flag being a symbol if anything could be? To put it more succinctly, there's a difference between a symbol and a shared symbol. Anything can be a symbol to an individual, you are correct, but when Stein mentions the flag as a symbol, he's speaking about it as a symbol that has a shared historical meaning to all of us. That is the kind of symbol I was referring to above to argue against the amendment. Damn English language with it's semantic imperfections. [/QUOTE] I was more putting it out there cause symbolism can mean diffrent things to diffrent people. Like the example thrown out there about a flag made in China is burned to protest moving American business to other countries. Although I would look down at that person for doing it, I wouldn't be that mad at him for it. Its all in the context of the protest, and that context determins what the flag symbolizes.[/QUOTE]
