/slight twist.

I "get" the argument that the flag can mean different things to those flying it, heritage, cultural pride, etc..

Does that same reasoning attach if you see someone burning and American flag? Can they be burning it for reasons other than hatred of America? Is there any "acceptable reason" you can grasp, even if you don't agree, in your mind that would make you at least tolerant?

I suppose "burning" it rather than flying it would make some consider it a more overt political statement, but isn't flying a flag a political statement, of some sort, in the first place?


/end of twist
