The Burning Question

[vakkotaur]

Every time the flag burning amendment comes up I think of a Johnny Carson bit where someone started a question with, "If my wife was cooking a flag and accidentally burned it..." and then I think of Independence Day fireworks displays with pyrotechnics burning in a flag pattern. I'd say more about how silly the whole thing is, but rillifane has already said it better.

While I find flag burning offensive, that is all it is. I think it says more about the protesters than whatever cause they claim to have when they do it.

Flag Burning

[(Anonymous)]

I find the concept of flag-burning, and other forms of desicration, offensive as well, and that applies to the burning of ANY flag, not just the United States. It's knee-jerk destruction and symbolizes nothing,(except for the fact you can't think of anything more original to do.)
