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.

  1. I love how your blog looks. Definitely an expression of yourself and your voice. However you are missing 2 posts and need a lot more detail to support your opinions in the ones that you do have.
