I can easily afford anyone the room to pledge allegiance to some flag they deem to be worthy of pledges, so long as my own estimate of the individual remains to be innocent until proven guilty.
I prefer to root out all the falsehood myself.
The problem here and now has to do with demand for uniformity in making due process efficient and at the same time a demand for uniformity in making due process expedient.
So long as due process is processed by people seeking, and working toward, defense of the innocent, and so long as human reason is utilized, the superfluous thoughts an actions, and the counter-productive thoughts and actions, and the destructive thoughts and actions will be left by the way side in favor of that which does work in defense of the innocent.
Those who insist upon pledging to that flag can, in my view, and if they appear to be open minded in my view, then I will take that opportunity to help them see the evidence I've found. If they don't appear to have an open mind, or if they shut out, willfully ignore, and refuse to acknowledge the information, then that is incuplatory evidence of the cause of the problem we face - to me.
It is a tool, and the tool is incapable of willfully deciding to cause harm to innocent people, but at the same time it exists.
Try this analogy please, anyone.
If I decide to construct a road sign that I decide to place on a long straight, fast, road where cars often travel, whereby there is a blind hill on the road, and on the other side of the blind hill is a bridge, and I know that the bridge is out, and I hatch a plan to increase the value of my shares of stock in the local hospital, then I can place a sign on the road that says "Free Money, it won't last, Hurry up."
I willfully place that sign in that place so as to cause injure, so as to allow me to profit at the expense of the injured.
The sign will remain in place until someone does something about it.
The flag did not willfully inspire people to rush to their doom.
There is no reason for me to blame the flag. It is merely a flag.
