Amazing isnt it - in the US thats what you are supposed to do also - but now we've got these crazy congressmen who are gonna try to pass a law that you cant burn a flag - even though thats been the proper way to dispose of it - actually - youre supposed to give it to an organization that takes care of the burning for ya - but I would be willing to bet most Americans in the US probably throw their old ones in the trash - and then scream about someone desecrating the flag - although they just did
