Cracking the Flag-Burning Amendment
John Scalzi explains how to get around the Flag Burning amendment: by desecrating flags that are similar but not identical to the real US flag. (Scalzi says: "Please note I don't encourage flag-burning. However, I don't encourage banning flag-burning more.")
LinkAn American Flag? Hardly. It has only 49 stars! There's a circle where a star should be. Certainly an American Flag had 49 stars, but it didn't look like this (it looked like this).The true 49-star flag would likely be covered by the Amendment, but this one, not so much. Use it for kindling!
