Respecting Old Glory

[question everything]

(apologies if already posted. I was struck by the irony)

Respecting Old Glory

"The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning."

U.S. Flag Code.

2. emblem and display - context question

Is it descration for all the beer bellied red necks to wear a flag on a sweaty body at the gym? Or have Mary Carey using it to show of her ta ta's. Last question when your going into your grocery store this fourth of July look at how people are schilling the flag on cup cakes and cookies. Guess some people have different definitions of descration. Oh QE Great Post and great screen name.

3. I like what I heard on here the other day

I would NEVER burn a flag, because it is a hateful act, like a burning cross or desecrated Qur'an.

That being said, this is my opinion and I shouldn't enforce that upon others.
