I hope I don't get slammed for this.....

I fail to see how burning the flag is protected under free speech.

I consider freedom of speech something you say, or something you create - such as a photo, a movie, or a book. Perhaps even a performance.

The act of burning the flag is just that - an act; In this case an act of protest. Setting a car on fire is also an act of protest, but that's not covered under freedom of speech.

Killing an eagle is not covered under freedom of speech - Why shouild burning the flag be okay?
