Like I said before why not ban burning copies of the Bill of Rights, The Civil Rights Act, U.S. constitution etc..??? then after that what else do we ban??? I'm not arguing that burning of the flag isn't a bad thing to see or even disgracefull, BUT life is hard...and the consutition doesn't protect you from getting your feelings hurt. This is more about the precident that it sets for the future.

Why not simply invoke local laws that limit open fires in public without a permit? No, our government has to Suddenly decide that the burning of the flag needs to be banned.

There are more important things in this world than the flag. Which btw we wear as underwear, tshirts, and shoes.... so if we can shit sweat and walk on our flag why can't we burn it for a cause?
red white and blue for fun :-)
