I'm one of those people who is pro-flag burning. (Or, more accurately, anti-banning flag burning) I don't think the symbols people use to protest should be limited by the government, and if someone feels strongly enough about the government's action that they want to (in a safe environment with a fire extinguisher nearby) burn a flag, then burn away.
I'm just worried that if flag burning is banned, what other images may also become un-defaceable? Will we be unable to use the President's crossed-out face on signs for a protest? What about critical remarks about the President or the country? This is the slippery slope, people!
