Years ago on the now cancelled show Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher Peter Coyote was on a panel with a Republican pundit. They were discussing the issue of flag burning, and the latter asked Coyote why he remained in this country if he thought it was OK to burn its flag. Coyote responded,

"Because in this country, I can."

To this the Republican pundit could only smile and respond, "touche." There are many values that as an American I cherish, but freedom is the queen of them all.
