It seems to me quite silly that we should go to such lengths to enfore behavior that isn't even a problem in the first place. This flag burning discussion is simply a wedge issue so the GOP can fan the flames (pun intended) of partisan divide.
Aside from the obvious, that burning the American flag is the only way to dispose of it properly, how about the far greater visual offence that we all encounter every day...
That tattered and shredded American flag your neighbor put up several years ago, on a whim of patriotisim or even on 9/11, and hasn't had the time to look at since.
Is it a sign of disrespect, or just a symbol of someone persuing the American dream?
