Read a good comment on flag burning in response to this story on Free Republic: You can burn the flag with reverence (when it's worn out), but not with defiance? Then what's being punished is your attitude, and criminalizing people's attitude is as un-American as it gets.

Someone else quoted from the Bill of No Rights -- you have no right to not be offended.

ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone - and not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc., but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.
