Mark: Uh-oh...The anti-flag-burning amendment is on the move again... I better incinerate my flag collection while it's still legal! Guess what's back, folks - the anti-flag-burning constitutional amendment! That's right - in response to a non-existent wave of flag vandalism, the House has voted to vandalize the bill of rights! The Senate is expected to follow suit! Of course, it will still be legal to dispose of an old flag by burning it, meaning that what's being outlawed is a point of view! Politicians who should know better than to trivialize the bill of rights are rushing to vote for the amendment. How could this happen? Chase: What are you saying, Mark - that you're for flag burning? Mark: Uh...well, not, of course not. I just...uh.... Chase: That's how it could happen. Mark: Oh...right...demagoguery.
