Flag_Desecration

Flag Desecration In the past eleven years, an amendment to our constitution has five times been proposed and five times been rejected. The senate found the proposed amendment unconstitutional, infringing upon our first amendment rights. It would certainly seem this proposed amendment is a joke, having been rejected so much, yet some people still believe it is the best thing for our country. I am talking about flag desecration, and the considered amendment to, as its supporters say, ‘protect’ the flag. I am opposed to this planned amendment for I feel it is grossly unnecessary, unpractical, and unconstitutional. Supporters of this proposed amendment must certainly believe that flag desecration is a rampant crime since they wish to change our Bill of Rights for the first time in over two hundred year. However, these people are wrong. Approximately two hundred incidences of flag desecration in the United States have been reported in U.S. history (1). That works out to about one person per year. Do we really wan to change the sacred document that is the Bill of Rights for one person a year' One must also consider the sort that desecrates the American flag. flag, amendment, desecration, say, rights, freedom, protecting, proposed, one, liberty, cloth, been, year, thing, people, believe, wrong, vietnam, veterans, upon, unlikely, two, times, symbol, surely, stands, sort, someone, sake, sacred, rejected, real, person, passing, never, nation, must, lose, increase, incidences, idea, hundred, however, fought, five, first, fellow, even, change, certainly
