Flag burning is protected by the Constitution as a form of 'free speech'. Unfortunately.
What point does burning a flag do? All you get out of it are worthless ashes that prove nothing.
If there is something you dislike about America, what does burning the flag do for you? Nothing. Except make you look like you hate the country that fought for your right to speak freely, worship freely.
Burning the flag is no better than commiting treason; no better than betraying your own country.
If you don't like something about your country, go make a sign. Start a petition. Protest it on a street corner. THAT is freedom of speech. Burning the flag? Not so much.
It is ridiculous, and for me, makes no sense. Burning a flag doesn't show people that you're protesting against higher taxes.
It doesn't show people that you're a homosexual fighting for your right to attend prom.
It shows people your utmost disrespect and unappreciation for all this country has provided for you.
That is why I believe that the Constitution's protection of the burning of the American flag should be amended and made illegal.
