amgreene (Andrew Marc Greene):
Another thought:
If the amendment passes making the "physical desecration of the
American flag" a crime, will the Post Office be liable for cancelling
stamps containing images of the flag? I mean, for heaven's sake,
they take a perfectly artistic picture of the flag and they stamp
wiggly lines all over it!

use "correct" date numbering get the string a month later than
the rest of you... but there are more of us! :-)
