I think it’s difficult for many people to come to terms with the fact that a revered symbol such as the national flag is also a symbol for the freedom to do things like desecrating it.

On the issue of personal freedom, I agree with the Libertarian Party’s perspective. I am a mind my own business and leave me alone kind of guy. Do I believe that our actions can have an affect on other people? Yes, in some ways. We can influence other people, however, each person is responsible for his or her own decisions. No person has the right to make decisions for another person. Even though I find flag burning offensive, I am not going to tell other people that they cannot do it. The same goes for drug use and prostitution. Drug use is something I object to, however, I believe that people should be free to make their own choices. Prostitution is something that I do not support. Despite that, I do not think it should be banned. Am I inclined to object to it on moral grounds? Of course.
