BE CAUTIOUS burning a flag near government buildings (Explanation inside)
I know a few of you read my expose into Homeland Security (my sister interns there and kind of coerced me into being a roleplayer for one of their simulations), and you guys are well aware of the intense amount of security the government places around corporate and government buildings -- most of it entirely secret.

They have agents posing as pedestrians EVERYWHERE. They have cameras you can't see in buildings EVERYWHERE. In the case of the US Capitol (my simulation was around Atlanta's capitol building), they even have snipers.

If you bring ANYTHING incendiary anywhere close to those buildings, I'm pretty sure they won't hesitate to arrest you immediately. I'm sure if you tried to burn ANYTHING near the US capitol, you might just be shot at (if you're lucky, with rubber bullets)

1. I would sincerely hope that no one is stupid enough
to bring incendiary stuff by the capitol. That's just plain dumb. If you really want to burn a flag, pre-soak & put it in a mason jar or something.

2. Now doesn't that sound like a guilty conscience?
"And they're freezing in their White Houses, these old men - their thousandfold fear is being guarded in a thousand ways..." (German protest song from '68 - I'm a very bad interpreter, sorry)
