So if they banned flag desecration. Could you....
...burn a flag with 49 stars and 12 stripes?

Could you call the cops on your neighbors for flying a tattered flag from their vehicle or a faded one from their house?

What a silly waste of time.

1. Yeah, and how 'bout licking those flag stamps!
One bright spot would be watching for Dumbass* to sign another flag so we could impeach his ass over it!

We need to flood the media with the picture of Dumbass* desecrating a fladg with his signature.

3. Burning the flag to discard it, or burning it to protest
The only difference I see are the thoughts in the minds of those present.

Can I burn a flag in protest if I salute it first?

Do I need to salute it if I'm just burning it to discard it?

Questions, questions. Never the important ones, though.

6. What about all those window flags
that keep falling off the big SUV's and lie in the street for months. Should we jail those flag abusers?

8. What if I drew a flag with crayons and burned it?
Would I be arrested?

9. That reminds me of a discussion we had in Aesthetics class years ago
Is a painting of a flag actually a flag itself?




What if you draw it in colored sand? How would you burn it to discard it?
