BOR - I think I understand where you're going with this, so I'll offer up this - neither the burning of the flag nor the display of the Stars and Bars make any demand to set aside the symbology behind either flag. In reality both acts require that symbology be front and center. The real question (for me anyway) is exactly what symbols are being elicited by the separate acts considering that both flags have multiple meanings and implications.
