| you guys act as if this is the first time anyone has ever burned an american flag. Flag burning has been done by corn fed americans since the 60s as a form of protest. It's a symbol and people realize the power of the symbols, so flag burning is used as a means of getting a message across. I don't think americans do it much anymore since it usually has a very negative image associated with it, so it's bad publicity no matter how you spin it.
But if a person burns a flag and we all more or less disapprove of it, i don't think our democracy will fall apart and we're in some moral crisis because of it. Compared to the vietnam era, things now are hohum.
