I think that flag burning is okay because it is a type of freedom of speech. It might offend people but I still think that it is okay because the first amendment gives citizens the right to do this. An American flag isn't government property like a draft card is which is why it's different when people burn draft cards. I don't think that burning draft cards is okay for a type of protest because I understand that it is interfering with government interests. If it was okay to burn draft cards, everyone would do it and then America would be at risk of not having a military. If everyone burned an American flag there would be no real danger or threat except for the loss of patriotism. While I don't agree that people should burn American flags, I do think that they have the right to do that if they wanted to because having the freedom to express yourself is part of being an American.

Pledge of Allegiance

I guess i agree with the Pledge of Allegiance law. It really isn't that bad. The pledge of Allegiance is only 31 words long, thats nothing. I believe that you don't have to actually believe in the pledge i just think that you should do it out of respect for our country. Were so lucky to live here in America and if thats all you have to say in school to be here then thats easy. If i could change something about the Pledge of Allegiance law i would add to it that it is okay to not participate in the pledge. Also you will not be punched for it not participating. I would only change that because i don't want people to complain about standing and saying 31 words. Also  so people don't get sued because of the Pledge of Allegiance i think its redickulous that people would sue each other for something that is 31 words long. i just don't think that people should make a big deal about it. Theres other things to be concerned about in America.

LeBron X

LeBron X's are a pair of shoes that are coming out in the fall. They're in the news because of how much they cost. There the most expensive retail pair of shoes that nike has ever sold. The reason why there so expensive is because of the technology they have built in to them. I think its the coolest thing! In the X's there is a USB that is connected to the shoe and you can take it put it in your computer to see things like the highest you jumped. I think that type of technology is crazy and sounds so futuristic. I just find it amazing. i totally understand why the LeBrons X's are so expensive, the shoes going to be approximately $315 but i think that the X's are worth that price and are not overpriced. Also there will be a pair that doesn't have the technology  that are only going to be priced around $160.
