Burning the American flag is an act of free speech. People support free speech, it's in our Bill of Rights. The Confederate flag is known to represent legal slavery, something that is morally outrageous.

I don't know which flag you are asking about, but if any flag has to fly, that should be a USA flag. It was in USA when, 2 centuries ago, workers went on national strike because they were made to work over 12 hours a day. They demanded to work at least 8 hours a day. Many people had to die during that strike, fired at by policemen, before their demand was granted. So, that strike was supported by many people from all over the world, which is the reason why today May 01 is Workers Holiday all over the world.

From what I understand, and the the way that I use "flags" in Java, a flag is usually a boolean value that is used to check the state of something, e.g. whether a text field has text or not. The flag can then be used to determine future actions without having to keep checking the contents of the text field. If the contents of the text field change, simply change the value of the flag.

The U.S. flag has undergone many changes since the first official flag of 1777. On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act, which said that the flag would be made up of thirteen alternating red and white stripes and thirteen white stars on a blue field. Stars have been added to the flag as new states join the union. Currently, the flag contains 50 stars.\n\nEver wonder why the flag is red, white, and blue? While the flag's colors did not have a specific meaning at the time, the colors were significant for the Great Seal of 1782.\n\n    * White: Signifies purity and innocence\n    * Red: Signifies valor and bravery\n    * Blue: Signifies Vigilance, perseverance, and justice\n\nWhy stars and stripes? Stars are considered a symbol of the heavens and the divine goal to which man has aspired from time immemorial; the stripe is symbolic of the rays of light emanating from the sun.

Here is a sampling of the information available at the web site listed below:\n\n\nThe "FLAG CODE" \n\n\nPrevious to Flag Day, June 14, 1923 there were no federal or state regulations governing display of the United States Flag. It was on this date that the National Flag Code was adopted by the National Flag Conference which was attended by representatives of the Army and Navy which had evolved their own procedures, and some 66 other national groups. This purpose of providing guidance based on the Army and Navy procedures relating to display and associated questions about the U. S. Flag was adopted by all organizations in attendance. \n\nA few minor changes were made a year later during the Flag Day 1924 Conference, It was not until June 22, 1942 that Congress passed a joint resolution which was amended on December 22, 1942 to become Public Law 829; Chapter 806, 77th Congress, 2nd session. Exact rules for use and display of the flag (36 U.S.C. 173-178) as well as associated sections (36 U.S.C. 171) Conduct during Playing of the National Anthem, (36 U.S.C. 172) the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, and Manner of Delivery were included. \n\nThis code is the guide for all handling and display of the Stars and Stripes. It does not impose penalties for misuse of the United States Flag. That is left to the states and to the federal government for the District of Columbia. Each state has its own flag law. \n\nCriminal penalties for certain acts of desecration to the flag were contained in Title 18 of the United States Code prior to 1989. The Supreme Court decision in Texas v. Johnson; June 21, 1989, held the statute unconstitutional. This statute was amended when the Flag Protection Act of 1989 (Oct. 28, 1989) imposed a fine and/or up to I year in prison for knowingly mutilating, defacing, physically defiling, maintaining on the floor or trampling upon any flag of the United States. The Flag Protection Act of 1989 was struck down by the Supreme Court decision, United States vs. Eichman, decided on June 11, 1990. \n\nWhile the Code empowers the President of the United States to alter, modify, repeal or prescribe additional rules regarding the Flag, no federal agency has the authority to issue 'official' rulings legally binding on civilians or civilian groups. Consequently, different interpretations of various provisions of the Code may continue to be made. The Flag Code may be fairly tested: 'No disrespect should be shown to the Flag of the United States of America.' Therefore, actions not specifically included in the Code may be deemed acceptable as long as proper respect is shown.
