I agree. I also think the only reason a person burns the American flag is because they know we recognize their right to burn a flag without getting arrested or killed like most other countries. They use our rights consistently what we give out willingly and then whine about how bad they have it.
I think it's a form of free expression and I am never offended by the right to express even that which offends. I also love how those who inadvently light themselves on fire in the process expect agents of the govt they're protesting to rush in a put them out. There's something really amusing about that. Were it me, I'd probably settle for flying it inverted. Fire and I have a rough history ;)
