I am sure that there are some people who would like to express their freedom of expression by urinating on Hillary Clinton, but such an activity is socially unnacceptable, as well as illegal. Burning a flag is very similar to this in my opinion.

To veterans who fought for the flag, died for it and were buried under it, they reserve the right to protect it, and if passing a law banning such activity is passed I agree with it. Burning a flag is arson, and a careless, dangerous activity. The flames can destroy and injur more than the physical body. The flames of disgust and anger it produces cannot be extiguished easily either.

Burning a flag should only be done with reverence, as a means to destroy an old flag that has been worn out. Use other means of expression, flag burning is not socially acceptable to a large number of your fellow human beings.

Yours, Aye. Dave
