JC, Some good points there. I agree that censorship is a frightening precedent to start, because you really can't be sure where to draw the line. It can get very scary, very quickly.

I'm not sure how much actual flag burning is going on that we really need to make a law about it. I don't recall ever seeing a flag burned. Maybe there is rampant flag burning going on that I am not aware of. Perhaps the politicians see more of it, since many protestors go to Washington, and perhaps they do it there.

There must be more important issues that need time and effort, no?
