- Clue time, I think. Let's see if you can figure out the difference
- between:
- - someome burning a flag (his own property) and endangering no one's
- life
- - someone firebombing a clinic (someone else's property) and
- endangering the lives and safety of others
- Hint: it has something to do with not violating the basic rights of
- other persons.
- I don't mean to be excessively sarcastic, but this is so glaringly,
- absurdly obvious that I'm amazed you would even post something so silly.
- It really helps to think things through before you write them down. That's
- one of the advantages of the written vs. the spoken word.
