So this might be a crazy idea - but has anyone thought about staging public flag burnings in protest of the proposed amendment and any other idiotic talk infringing on our basic freedoms of expression? Maybe we can also put on display all the many common ways that people desecrate the flag on a regular basis? For example: clothes, napkins, paper plates with flags on them are all in violation of proper flag handling. Additional flags can be burned after that without the ceremony.

It is said that there should be some form of ceremony attached to the respectful burning, but there is not a specific order of events for this event. The proper method of disposal for a US flag when it is no longer serviceable is burning. ![]() One of the most interesting things about the rhetoric around the US Flag Antidesecration Act, or whatever they want to call the proposed amendment to keep people from burning the flag, is that flag burning is an essential part of properly handling as US Flag.
