I care about it.
Obviously it is used as a diversion in politics, and it is a non issue in the sense that it rarely happens, but that doesnt mean we should ignore it as an issue. A candidate who doesnt recognize the fundemental violation of the basic tenents of freedom of experition involved in any restrictions on flag burning, not to mention how stupidly nationalistic deserves to be scrutinized for it.

Its not about the flag, its about the fact that the flag question reveals whether a person is nationalistic or truely believes in the concept of freedom of expression.
