I don't take exception to any of the parts. 1. Destroying or damaging a U.S. flag with the primary purpose and intent to incite or produce imminent violence or a breach of the peace I agree, intention to incite or produce imminent violence or a breach of the peace should not be allowed under any circumstances. Of course, destroying or damaging a flag without that purpose and intent is not prohibited. 2. Intentionally threatening or intimidating any person, or group of persons, by burning a U.S. flag I agree, threatening or intimidating people should not be allowed under any circumstances. Of course, burning a US flag without such intent is not prohibited. 3. (You edited a little too much out) It actually says, "stealing or knowingly converting the use of a U.S. flag belonging to the United States, or belonging to another person on U.S. lands, and intentionally destroying or damaging that flag." "intentionally destroying or damaging that flag." "That flag" refers specifically to a flag belonging to the United States or to someone else. Of course, burning a flag that you own is not prohibited. I agree, if someone is intent on burning a flag, it should be their own flag, not a flag stolen from someone else. Is that clear enough for you?
