If you think about it, the flag burner just wants to make you angry anyway and he is succeeding.
This seems to be the general sentiment outside of the USA.

Paladin, if I were to burn a picture of you in front of your face I am not making a statement.

As for the flag representing what the US stands for. I still can't grasp that concept. After all the flag represents what YOU wish it to represent. Your thoughts, your pride, your beliefs and your prejudices. Therefore I believe that you, the American people, represent what America stands for. [img]smile.gif[/img]
