To me, the flag is just a piece of cloth. Maybe the principles behind the flag (whatever they are) are significant, but the flag is most certainly not their physical manifestation. Like it or not, it is just a piece of cloth with a bunch of stars and stripes. If you think you're making a statement by burning it, then go ahead (unless it's a fire hazard). But don't think you're going to change anyone's mind about America one way or another by doing so.
No, this bill should not be passed.
