My Flag Burning Legislation Proposal

Flag burning should always take place out of doors. Indoor flag burning is a fire hazard and should not be permitted.

Flags made of polymers, nylon or other synthetics can give off harmful fumes when burned. Burning of these flags should be discouraged in favor of flags made of natural fabrics such as cotton, paper or silk. In the event that no such flag is available, the public should be advised to remain upwind to avoid inhaling chemical fumes.

Jumping onto a burning flag is dangerous and should be prohibited. Once the flag is alight, all present should retreat to a safe distance until the fire is completely extinguished.

Ashes or other residue left as a result of flag burning should be removed and the area left clean for others. This is the responsibility of the burner, although others may help if they wish.

Like any activity involving fire, flag burning should be done only by adults. Matches, lighters and other incendiary devices should be kept out of the reach of children at all times.

Following these simple rules can help keep flag burning a free, safe and enjoyable tradition that the whole family can enjoy.

1. Maybe all flags should be made of hemp?
or a canabis of the sativa species?
