| Sam: | You know, this kind of protest does no good . . . it just makes the author look stupid and America all the better. |
| Kris: | I agree it's in bad taste. It's easy to desecrate a symbol, but often that backfires. When you attack symbols, it simply polarizes people further. |
| Chris: | I think of this as a non-violent way of venting anger. When millions of flag-waving Americans tacitly accept the torture and murder done by Imperial America across the planet, it makes me furious. |
| Kris: | The cowboy thinking in too many Americans is a formula for Armageddon: we need more bridge-builders, not sharp-shooters. |
| Tim: | The thing to remember is that people are not their actions. No matter how angry we feel about a given action, we shouldn't feel hatred towards any person. The real challenge is to love even when angry, and that is seldom easy. |
