The question is not so much whether to permit flag-burning or not so much as it is a question of, "How do we make flag burning SAFE?"

The following restrictions seem reasonable:

1. Use of any petroleum-based accelerant is disallowed.

2. There can be no bystanders or spectators, who could be burned.

3. No person shall operated an electronic device (like a minicam) near flag conflagrations, in order to protect against the possibility of electrical sparks. These could trigger a fire at a premature time.

4. Flag burners shall insure their unobserved event to the amount of $100,000.

5. Flag burners shall register their event with the authorities and provide for police attendance.

6. Flag burners shall post signs at the remote burn site one week in advance, to alert potential by-standers.

7. Flag burners will not store flags in a high-capacity flag container, nor shall they perform rapid, successive burnings of flags.

8. No burning of "junk flags", or flags adorned with exotic, amour-piercing flagpost tips.

"I didn't realize that the rainbow flag was recognized and protected under federal law."

It didn't think it was a recognized "National" flag either.
Where is gay nation?
I'd like to see what court ruled that flag as a legitamate flag representitive of a nation, and when that nation officialy declared that flag as their national flag.

I am so sick of the stupidity flowing out of our courts.

If there was a gay nation, something tells me it wouldn't be around long. Either it would die out or it would be conquered. (I mean let's face it, can you imagine what their army would be like?)

we need to invite the media out to some burnings of Syrian, Iranian, Saudi flags and some Koran burnings while we are chanting "death to allah" (just to be over the top)

Come on, we need BACKLASH people

The sodomite flag is good to burn and should be burned.
