burning, which is more offensive to you? book...destroy ideas you destroy humanity...who cares about a piece of cloth?? Well some people died and in my case my Dad was a POW/MIA for that "piece of cloth". Freedom isn't free and it stands for Freedom. actually "freedom" is free..thats why its called "free-dom"...however ideologies require blood sacrifices and symbols...your dad died for an ideology represented by a piece of cloth....

You would be incorrect in that statement.

neither one would...they're both just things and can be replaced...the only things that can't are pictures...i'd be more concerned about pics of my daughter being burned

Don't kid yourselves, we are NOT a free country. We are only as free as the government wants us to think we are.

Not so much burning..as BANNING books in schools. A lot of GREAT publishing has been blacklisted or not allowed in public schools.

Agreed. On that topic, Obama better choose an excellent running mate, because who ever runs with him will eventually be president.

Books. I agree that words and ideas are more important than a piece of material with a symbol made by man. A country is more than a piece of material

I don't WANT it to happen...lol, but do you really think a bunch of old republicans who have worked in the white house for decades will let a black man tell them what to do? My guess is it will be an inside job.
