College kids did something stupid? Oh my god, no way!

If anything this just illustrates that no matter how selective or prestigious an institution is, no matter how much we build it up in our minds, no matter how badly we think we want something or how much we think it means to go to an Ivy League school… it’s NOT THAT DIFFERENT! These kids did something stupid, but they also remind us how fundamentally similar we all are, because this really could’ve happened just as easily anywhere else. In fact, I think that if it HADN’T happened at such a well-known, highly-regarded institution, it wouldn’t be “news” at all.

This has nothing to do with the troops, or the war, nor does it really have any greater political significance, and those attempting to invest it with such importance are really doing more harm than good. As the article states, flag burning isn’t illegal. It IS utterly reprehensible that they destroyed a complete stranger’s property, and I hope that none of my classmates next year exhibit similar behavior in that regard.
