UBUB would like to humbly share UBUB's opinions on ths matter and UBUB urges others to do so as well.<BR/><BR/>UBUB shares Dr.Rex Curry's concern about a growing police state and the quasi-worship of government. UBUB has also spent time studying the history of education and from these studies UBUB has learned that both causes and solutions of social problems of all types are frequently defined as being located in public schools. <BR/><BR/>UBUB sees this in a similar vein and UBUB notes the apparent similarities between claims of flag desecration and allegations of persecutiuon of Christians. Just as conservative Christians, who currently control all three branches of US government, cry persecution when some oppose their hegemony through subtle or overt means, those who would support a form of "government worship," as described by rexcurrydotnet, similarly trump up rare instances of flag burning as an expression of opposition such that it can be defined as a crisis. <BR/><BR/>UBUB finds these phenomena to be eerily similar in that both are expressions of dominance and authoritarianism disguised as piety and patriotism. UBUB sees them as part of an attempt to further conflate spiritual religion and civil religion. According to UBUB, this is a way to advance the ideology of AmeriChristianity such that opposition to government is not only disloyal but heretical.<BR/><BR/>So, UBUB, you may be asking, who, then, is to address this crisis? Why the very institutions that the problem definers have pinned the blame on, the public schools. It is a matter of institutional control and control of individuals through those institutions. As UBUB has shown, the green grass grows all around and around and the green grass grows all around.<BR/><BR/>UBUB, the world's only source for UBUB.

As the strict constructionists like Scalia keep reminding us, it is not up to us to whimsically interpret the founders. They knew what they were doing. NO LAW does not mean SOME LAWS.<BR/><BR/>Ipso facto, abracadabra, perjury is unconstitutional.<BR/><BR/>"I was just exercising my first amendment right, yer honor."<BR/><BR/>-daveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397103.post-1151415829827447962006-06-27T08:43:00.000-05:002006-06-27T08:43:00.000-05:00In fact, until Dr. Rex Curry can actually present ...In fact, until Dr. Rex Curry can actually present a dialogue or meaningful communication beyond this, I am not interested.
