Regardless of what you choose, be aware of potential consequences...during the First Gulf War, an anti-war protestor - who was white, by the way - in Albuquerque set a flag on fire, and a military man back from the Gulf - who was Hispanic, by the way - rushed him and broke the protestor's nose. It went to court of course, but the military man won, suffering no sanction at all. Perhaps not good for the First Amendment, although the government wasn't involved in this incident at all, but illustrative of the type of unofficial, grassroots response a flag-burner may get - not banned by any government, but quashed by their fellow citizens.
And I voted 'other'.
