To me, I oppose an amendment to the constitution banning the desecration of the flag. The flag does evoke a lot of strong feelings from people, that I don't deny. However, if we ban that, then we open up a slippery slope that could really lead us into trouble. If the flag can't be burned, why not a picture of the president? I guess that in allowing it, we show how live up to our belief in free speech, by allowing what others would not.
