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?

There's nothing wrong with burning your own car in protest, and a flag is not an endangered species. Your personal definition of free speech is meaningless. A lot of people think your sites aren't protected by free speech.
