Tom,<br> <br> If someone burns a flag of a country, nation or group of people, I consider it an act of aggression and/or ill will towards those people. I responded that way when several of my senatorial colleagues in ASUI burned the Gay Straight Alliance Flag--as did many others. <br> <br> If someone protests against a war or action of the US within the US they can do so without burning a flag, spitting on US Soldiers, or destroying public or private property. <br> <br> So yes, I think someone that burns a US Flag should be watched more carefully, and I think they are people that are disrespecting the United States and all the people in it. I consider an attack on a US Naval ROTC Building an attack on the US--especially one that my Dad was attending during the 60s. <br> <br> Best,<br> <br> _DJA<br><br><b><i>Tom Hansen <thansen@moscow.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left:
