The dissenters in the flag-burning case and their supporters might at this juncture note an irony in my argument. My point is that freedom of conscience and expression is at the core of our self-conception and that commitment to it requires the rejection of official dogma. But how is that admittedly dogmatic belief different from any other dogma, such as the one inferring that freedom of expression stops at the border of the flag?

The crucial distinction is that the commitment to freedom of conscience and expression states the simplest and least self-contradictory principle that seems to capture our aspirations. Any other principle is hopelessly at odds with our commitment to freedom of conscience. The controversy surrounding the flag-burning case makes the case well.

The controversy will rage precisely because burning the flag is such a powerful form of communication. Were it not, who would care? Thus were we to embrace a prohibiton on such communication, we would be saying that the 1st Amendment protects expression only when no one is offended. That would mean that this aspect of the 1st Amendment would be of virtually no consequence. It would protect a person only when no protection was needed. Thus, we do have one official dogma-each American may think and express anything he wants. The exception is expression that involves the risk of injury to others and the destruction of someone else`s property. Neither was present in this case.

Why does Chaucer picture the prioress with a coral trinket on her arm
inn [45]

The prioress is a nun who is head of a house of nuns. At the beginning of the tale, Chaucer describes her physical appearance such as her mouth, her eyes and her face. Then, he moves on to describe what she has: her clothes and her jewellery. The coral trinket on her arm is the first piece of jewellery Chaucer mentions. The reader expects a nun not to wear any jewellery of decorative nature because she is devoted to God and does not have to worry about her looks or about materialistic things such as jewellery. The "coral trinket" is the first hint the author gives the reader that shows the prioress is not the typical nun one would expect.
