I don't want to burn flags. I want to have the RIGHT to burn flags if I choose to do so.

I also want to have the right to burn a picture of Ronald Reagan if I choose to do so. I want to have the right to say my government is wrong. I want to have the right to read books that the government doesn't like.

There is NO DIFFERENCE between outlawing the burning of a piece of cloth because of it's symbolic content and outlawing a book because of it's symbolic content (1984). It's a very small step from making desecrating a flag illegal to making public dissent illegal. oh but OF COURSE only us hippies have anything to fear right? THe government would NEVER do anything to bother right thinking mericans such as yourself. (Patriot Act, Tips, those are all aimed at hippies and muslims, they'd NEVER tap anyone else's phone)

There's no difference between banning flag-burning for it's disrespectful nature and throwing Rage Against the Machine in jail for their disrepectful music. It's a slippery slope, if you give them an inch they'll take a mile.
