I would vote against using the actual flag (or image thereof). Believe it or not, this is for patriotic resons. Flag code states that the national falg is not to be part of articles of clothing, towels, or various other trinkets as it is disrespectful. (It's right up there with the proper way to dispose of a flag being to *burn* it from the inside out and fold the corners in after it has caught)

I wholly approve of working motifs from the American flag into the whole however. I agree with others here that the 13 stars motif is more appropos at the moment and likely garner more widespread support. It seems like we want to unite people and start to wage our own language war.

In a debate, (s)he who defines the terms, wins.

What worries me, aside from the Court nominations is a comment Bush made in a speech in Ohio on Monday about "bringing the gift of freedom to the people of Cuba in the next four years". I'm surprised none of the enlightened minds here have heard that sound bite from NPR.

I remember history well enough to recall what happened the last time colonialism or "nation building" was in place. It ended in WWI. I fear we are headed that way again. Please don't let me hear Bush say, "We need a little elbow room".

I'm too Jeffersonian for my own good. The masses scare me. I believe in the democracy of an informed electorate. If only that were enforcable.

*Relurks*
