I'm with Atty too, it shouldn't be illegal, just don't do it in front of me. I have some pride in where I'm from, but I don't think that making flag burning illegal will do anything to bolster how I feel about my country. It is a symbol, and as such, it deserves respect, but since respect is earned, maybe some people don't respect it as much as I. That's on them. Ofcourse, freedom of expression is rapidly going out the window any here, so what difference does it make. Nice point on the Nationalism too, I'll bet flag burning was punishable by death in Nazi Germany.
