Why Do Americans Value A Piece Of Cloth So Highly?

Why do these morons think a flag means anything? I respect my country, but I don't cry about the flag. It means nothing ultimately. If someone shits on the British flag then whatever, they needed a shit. Is America so empty of real meaning that a flag means that much?

MaryJo,
Imagine one day you fall deeply in love. And as a sign of your devotion you give your partner a ring - stating this is symbolic of your greatest offering: your promise of unity forever. Yet every week your partner takes a shit on the ring while looking at you and saying, "what's the big deal?" Your partner does this every week.
Maybe then you'll understand the importance of symbolism.
