I'm all for free speech, but a flag is a "living" representation of the country. If you know flag etiquitte, you'd know that the flag is to be treated like a person. I'm only 20, but I always get misty at the national anthem . Maybe it's because that's my signal to start killing in football... It bothers me when my friends forget to put their hands at their hearts or take off their hats. That's just how I was raised. Here in Marin County, near San Francisco, It seems that only a few here care so much about the flag as I do. I also respect other countries flags as ours. So wouldn't burn another countries flag no matter how PO'd. Anyhoo.
