"Saluting Flags, Ignoring People," Mumia Abu-Jamal "The recent Senate Resolution to amend the U.S. Constitution to outlaw the burning of the flag (More) "The recent Senate Resolution to amend the U.S. Constitution to outlaw the burning of the flag failed, if only by one vote.
It reflected, with perfect clarity, the growing irrelevance of the so-called 'upper house.'
There are very serious things threatening the lives and welfare of millions of Americans, but the threat of flags being torched ain't one of 'em.
The Senate approach is a classic of modern American politics. It is the politics of symbology, over the stuff of substance.
Tens of thousands of workers are facing the threat of lost pensions (as shown by the recent actions of GM).
The Iraq situation is an unmitigated disaster.
The bill for the Iraq war alone has topped $320 billion (that billion -- with a 'b'), and Congress can think of nothing more than to shovel in more.
The recent Pew Research poll of folks in 15 countries shows most believe the U.S. is 'a greater threat to world peace' than Iran.
The nation's educational system is in free fall.
Need I go on?
There are more than enough things for the Congress to address. Yet, it spent the better part of a week haggling over whether to amend the Constitution, to make the flag the nation's official Idol.
For, to make it illegal to 'desecrate' something is the same thing as announcing its sacredness. You can't desecrate something that which is mundane.
Scholar-activist Michael Parenti, in his recent book, "Super Patriotism" (San Francisco: City Light Books, 2004), quoted a touching excerpt from a 12-year old girl named Charlotte Aldebron, who wrote about what she thought about the worth of icons, versus the apparent non-worth of people:
"The American flag stands for the fact that cloth can be very important. It is against the law to let the flag touch the ground or to leave the flag flying when the weather is bad. The flag has to be treated with respect. You can tell just how important this cloth is because when you compare it to people, it gets much better treatment. Nobody cares if a homeless person touches the ground. A homeless person can lie all over the ground all night long without anyone picking him up, folding him neatly and sheltering him from the rain. School children have to pledge loyalty to this piece of cloth every morning. No one has to pledge loyalty to justice and equality and human decency. No one has to promise that people will get a fair wage, or enough food to eat, or affordable medicine, or clean water, or air free of harmful chemicals. But we all have to promise to love a rectangle of red, white, and blue cloth." [pp. 155-56]
That's from the mind of a 12-year old girl!
It is telling when more sense comes from elementary and middle school students than from the U.S. Senate...
Flags may make grown men misty-eyed, but, c'mon -- it's only colored cloth."
