Question...

If...the American flag is just a piece of cloth, as some have pointed out...

and

If...I should set aside any symbology behind that piece of cloth...

and

If...the burning of said piece of cloth is simply a matter of free speech...

and

If...I should not take offense at the burning of this piece of cloth...

then...

Why is it so wrong to fly the battle flag of the Confederate States of America? Why all of the hullaballu over symbols of the former CSA embeded in state flags? It's just a piece of cloth, with no real meaning attached...right?

What am I missing?
