I've never burned a flag in my life, and love to fly and wave our flag instead.
However, our country would lose a very important part of what makes it great if flag-burning were outlawed.
Flag-burning isn't--by most people engaging in this kind of demonstration--a message of hating America.
Instead, it's a message that can best be interpreted as:
"We love our country, but we don't like what we see happening to it, so this is our way of sending a message that things need to change or else our country will be in danger of becoming something that we don't want it to be!!!"
