He explains that in one interview. He says that the flag no longer stands for what it was supposed to stand for. The constitution is losing its basis of our law in the war on drugs which requires violation of personal liberty to build a utopian (drug-free) society.

Ok. Let's all burn flags when we disagree with laws.

Yes, we should when the laws violate the exact thing the flag represents. Life, liberty, property.

life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Jefferson doesn't agree with all of John Locke's views.
Let's give Americans the right to run around in circles chasing their "dreams" instead of property.

Lol, there's a political party here in Australia like that too. They call themselves 'HEMP' (Help End Marijuana Prohibition). The guy who started it actually changed his surname to Freemarijuana. And he's pretty much just a stoner too lol.
The guy may be a stoner but I definitely agree with what he's doing. He isn't crazy to where he actually thinks he's going to win, he just wants to spread his message and attempt to change as many peoples' minds as possible.
He would be smart though to get the backing of an organization such as NORML.

I agree with this.
It sounds pretty stupid at first, but with the ridiculous influx of flag bumper stickers, car-flags, and overall rampant blind patriotism after September 11th, I think we have already devalued our flag to the point where burning one isn't really much worse.
The number of times I've been sitting in traffic disgusted at the SUV in front of me with a faded, 6 year old "THESE COLORS DONT RUN" sticker, it's just ridiculous.
Our flag is cheap and worthless these days, and entirely because of our own doings. Theres a reason why I rock the french one on TA these days
