That's why you can't make laws against symbolism, there are too many interpretations. Child pornography is not symbolic. Ethnic slurs are not symbolic. Sexual harassment is not symbolic. But as Stein says himself, the flag IS a symbol.

Anything has or can have symbolism to it. I could say that stabbing a dog in the face is a symbol of my love for cats, and I'd go to jail for it. Kiddie porn and sexual harrasment could be a symbol for some people, even if its not for you. So, that arguement really doesn't work.

But this whole thing is just a giant waste of time. I don't care if someone burns a flag, I just treat them like dog shit. Heck, If I'm drunk enough, I might punch them. If people that burn flags don't want to be treated as third-class citizens, don't burn the flag.
