[GreenKeys] US FLAG CODE AMENDED

[don at thedjbrothers.com]

I think Mark's point is that the flag is a hollow shell if the government
underneath it is persistently ineffective.  And "persistently ineffective"
would be the kindest phrase that could be applied to the last 7 years. Our
children's children will look at back at this period bewilderedly wondering
"WTF were they thinking?" 

The thing I hate most of all is that we seem to be giving up on the true
American spirit of invention and innovation just when it is needed more than
ever. If that spirit were alive and well, we would be busy building a health
care system that would be the envy of the world, instead of cowering in
front of cable TV hoping that we personally don’t ever get sick or old. If
the spirit of innovation was alive and well, we would have gotten off the
Saudi bandwagon during the last oil crisis by inventing our way out of it,
instead of electing two Presidents whose best friends are Saudi Princes. 

>From an innovation point of view, the oil issue is particularly gnawing.
Here is a resource that is incredibly valuable for making plastics and other
wonderful stuff--and the BEST we can think of to do with it is burn it into
a pollutant! Now THAT is something worthy of self-loathing, be you liberal
or right wing.

This is vital - no - this is *critical* legislation.  Next is affordable
health care.  Better education funding and standards to fix the 50% high
school drop out rate.  Ending the war.  Solving the looming energy crisis. 
I can feel these and others are right there in the pipeline. 
All we must do is keep on voting, saluting, paying, and waiting.

After all, this is America, not some 2-bit dictatorial state, more obsessed
with nationalism than with helping its own.

Or so I once thought.
