I pledge allegiance to the flag often in class etc. But to have a constitutional ammendment banning the burning or desecration of the flag would cut at the fabric of the freedoms it represents. Dave,

Many take it very personally, mostly those who have watched friends and fellow soldiers die for our country. It's the right to be wrong, to have an opinion that is different from the majority. Ironically it's the flag that represents the freedom they are exercising when they burn it. So with a little circular logic, you can say that they are demonstrating against their own ability to demonstrate. ;) But as a whole, I disagree with a law to ban flag-burning, but whole-heartedly disagree with the practice.
