You know, the whole idea behind why flags were invented were simply to provide position markers to gauge the advance of a military unit on a battlefield. One may begin attaching much more sentimentality to that piece of cloth, but that piece of cloth sure isn't in the mood to appreciate your sentiments about it.
It's a position marker. Not much more than that in a practical sense. The offense of desecrating the flag is carried only within the minds and hearts of those defiling the cloth, and to whom that defilement was aimed to offend. Both those sides are so subjective to individual tastes and transitory to the circumstances that judgement by written word of law is going to be imperfect.

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
