I personally have nothing against burning the flag. If that's the way you want to protest, that is your right to. Heck if you wanted to set yourself on fire in protest, thats fine by me. We have the right to express how we feel. However I would personally never do such a thing, with the exception of retiring an old flag.

The fact that the government has taken the time to argue and debate on this matter makes me sick. There are thousands of other pressing issues in the country, and they spend their time on.. flag burning of all things?
