I am not going to write on my opinions of whether or not it should be illegal to burn the United States Flag, but during this week in class i have gathered up many questions that i can put into one question for those whom chose to burn the flag in protest:
If you decide to protest against America by burning its flag, then why do you live here?
I live in America because, besides that i live with my parents and they raised me here, i love this country and i would stand by it against other nations. I many have my disagreements with our government just like everyone else, but i do not get angry enough to burn and protest what our nation stands by. I live by the red, white, and blue. To me it represents freedom and liberty but also good and bad. Everything in our nations past makes our nation what it is today, good and bad. I doubt that there is one person that is happy with every decision that our nation has made, but what makes our nation so unique is that we made our decision together has a whole. I would say that the protesters who burn the flag are lucky enough to be able to even stand trial because in other nations u could be shot for doing such acts. Before you think about how unhappy you are with what you don't have, think about how lucky you are to have what you already have.
