Flag as property
Interesting look at the flag burning issue:
The flag desecration amendment is a private property issue. If an individual goes to a store and purchases a flag, does the flag belong to the federal government, the American people, or the individual who purchased it? The answer is irrefutable. It constitutes private property and belongs to the individual who purchased it.
The federal government wants to take private property, that is legal to acquire and possess, and give itself the power to criminalize how an individual uses his property even though the individual’s conduct does not cause bodily harm or damage the property of another individual. When an individual desecrates his flag, the only victim is the fool who damaged or destroyed his property.</i>
