The latest
government attempt to take away
first amendment freedoms. The proposed
amendment would make it illegal to
desecrate the
flag of the
United States.
This would damage freedom of religion, as desecration is a religious term, applied only to sacred objects. It would also take awar freedom of speech, as flag burning is currently a protected form of speech.
They seem to think that the symbol of freedom is more important than freedom itself.
And as a comment on what Jet-Poop wrote down there... you've got the right idea. Take out a color ad in a national newspaper with a full-page image of an American Flag - nobody could then throw it in the trash, set it on the floor, etc. You could get thousands of people on violating the law right there...
