You say "some people". What if it is the majority?


Then the majority are wrong. Just because it's the popular view doesn't mean that it's right or just.



Okay, but democracy and society are about the majority view. Your rationale seems to be moving towards a belief system now. You believe your viewpoint is right based on your own values but acknowledge that the majority don't hold the same values to be true.

And it would be an unjust law.

This also is a value judgement, isn't it? How does one prove that a law is unjust? Does such a proof automatically lead to the law being repealed? If not, why not?

IMO, some US citizens invest altogether too much (ego?, symbolism?, whatever?) in their flag. It smacks of jingoism to me. It's just a piece of cloth, people.


Aren't they just showing their patriotism?
