I still think that burning a flag should result in being deported to whichever nation is more hostile twards Americans at the moment

For everyone that said yes it should be punishable I never mentioned Flag Burning. I mentioned Desecration as according to the rules describing Falg use and ettiquite.

Desecration is: touching the ground; wearing upon bubba's t-shirt, a ripped torn or tattered flag displayed, a flag in the rain. All these are examples of desecration and thus should be punishable; according to popular census.

Uh oh! We got burned on the "rules of ettiquette". I was thinking in terms of those wantonly destroying the flag and it's symbology. My bad.
Technically, all those American Flag T-shirts and towels, bandanas, bikinis, and paintjobs on cars are to be considered 'desecration'.

Hang 'em high!

I have proudly participated in a Flag Burning ceremony. It is an experience that every American should witness.
