Burning flag amendment, my ass.

I'll tell you what. You can have your "anti-flag burning amendment" if it is written as a "proper flag display" amendment instead. This means that I cannot burn the flag to protest US government activities, but you cannot:

1. Mount a flag on your car and drive 70 mph until it is a tattered remnant or flies off to be run over.
2. Fly a flag at night, except if it is properly lit.
3. Fly a flag in the rain or other inclement weather.
4. Dispose of a flag by any means than a ceremonial burning (ironic, eh?).
5. Display a flag pinned up other than with the stripes vertical and the star field on the left. If displayed horizontally, it must be free-flying.
6. Use it as adornment for any individual.
7. Ever let it touch the ground.
8. Write on the flag.

Deal?
