Flag-Burning: A Modest Proposal

In order to save America and the world from the idiocy that is the proposed flag-burning amendment, I have an alternative proposal. The USA should instead pass a different law:

Henceforth, we shall require micro-encoding of passages from the Koran in the material and/or weave of every legitimate American flag. These passages would be invisible to the naked eye.

My modest proposal would have a number of beneficial consequences:

  • The multicult Left would finally be forced to treat the American flag with reverence, and would begin to advocate forced "re-education" for those who did not.
  • The U.S. could advertise widely in the Mideast that American agents were working to insert software viruses into the machines of local flag producers, and secretly substitute some of these micro-encoded materials as well. It's exactly the sort of thing their conspiracy culture would believe, and flag-burnings there would drop almost to zero. After all, one could never be sure one wasn't burning passages from the Koran.
  • It would get rid of this dumb constitutional amendment idea.
