People who cant their way legally so they decide to change the rules are the enemies of freedom not its defenders. We are still living under a prohibition.

I thought we'd learned from prohibition. Apparently not.

While this is completely true, there are soooooo many people in this country that do not understand that basic fact. "Goddamn Commies; if they don't like that flag, they can go live somewhere else." Ugh, I'm really starting to get sick of stupid people that make no effort to educate or otherwise better themselves. “When our nation passes a Constitutional Amendment to prohibit burning the flag, the flag will cease to mean anything at all.”

It is, to most of us, a symbol of what makes this country home, a belief in individual liberty. Take away the individual liberty, and the flag becomes a hollow, meaningless symbol. At that point, what symbol will people have for liberty? I can think of only one: a burning flag.
