Once a bill like this passes, it could easily be used against someone who means no harm.

While I don't think it's considered disrespectful to burn an old flag -- which is what we were all taught to do -- I also don't think it's recommended these days.
I read somewhere that you should take an old flag to the VFW or American Leigon or like group and they will destroy it in a prescribed manner.
Speaking of respectful, I think we should be a little careful in this debate of how we address each other. Expressing our own feelings on this issue is part of our right to freedom of speech as well.
