I don't know about amusing - I'd rather enjoy bashing a flag-burner
over the head, but then I'm prejudiced by 30 years in the Air Force.
Us atavistic types, ya know! But we don't need laws to ban flag
burning. If your loyalty is to a bit of cloth, and not to what that
cloth represents, then there's a problem there.
The greatest value in a symbol is behind it, not in it.
