Sure to make it into a future anthology called "Cyberdemocracy's Greatest Hits," Arizona biologist Warren Apel has taken his opposition to the GOP's proposed anti-flag-burning amendment onto the World Wide Web. At http://www.indirect.com/www/warren/flag, browsers can watch a digital Stars and Stripes go up in flames. (Apel, an Eagle Scout, says he would never burn a real flag.) His site has spawned a protest page (at http://www.pic.net/flameout/oldglory) complete with - what else? - a fire extinguisher.
