I stand by this...three months or not.

Burn a Redskins Flag at Fed/Ex Field and I bet someone whoops yer ass. Burn an American Flag at Fed/Ex Field if you want to make a brave statement about your opinion.

I could understand this point of view if it was YOUR flag that someone stole from you. But what if it was my flag? On my own property?

That's my bottom line -- the flag burning issue is more about property rights than anything else. If I buy a flag for whatever reason it is my property. And not you nor the government have the right to tell me what I can and cannot do with my flag.

Please note, dmek, that this is my opinion, my personal philosophy. Obviously the government does not adhere to that. But that's what I think, and that's the way I think things should be.
