America
America. What a country! Made up of people of all colors, multiple races, multiple beliefs and yet there are those who forget what this country was founded on. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom....basically, the freedom to be. If you disagree with what the government says feel free to say it. Burning the flag goes a little far for me, but the expression of disillusionment with the country does not. Just as hitting someone because one is angry with that someone is unacceptable behaviour but the expression of anger is not, it should just be done a little more peaceably. Because you see while we have freedom that does not give us the moral right to hurt or harm and burning a flag means that we would burn or shoot or do what it takes to express our displeasure. It deprives someone of the right to love the flag and that is the firewall that blocks any freedom. Will it do harm to someone? Then your freedom is no longer your freedom but it enslaves you to immediate gratification of getting things the way you like them. Praise be to God there is a more excellent way.
