This one seems more fitting: http://www.esquilax.com/flag/simpsons.shtml

Wearing a flag is jingoistic. Or maybe this storeis. Unless it's a hippy wearing a flag. Then people assume it's anti-jingo, whatever that is. Okay, he might not be a hippy, just a slob. Whatever.

kid: Well why can't we just make a law against flag burning?

Amendment: Because that law would be unconstitutional. But if we changed the Constitution...

kid: Then we could make all sorts of crazy laws!

Amendment: Now you're catching on!

Here you go.

I think you've stumbled upon an interesting point here.

If I can't record music or videa without clearing it through a media company and getting that "watermark" then my First Amendment rights have been trampled.

Forget consumers, copy protected CD's and even Fair Use [it is copyright ] - forget all of those Simpsons episodes you recorded from TV.

These systems are un-Constitutional because they limit your ability to express yourself where you see fit. If it's a grass roots campaign or a song your band is working on - you can't do it!

Just reminds me of this Simpsons song that is on mp3 here.

It will take an Amendment! And like Heston, they will get my DVD/VCD/MP3 player from my cold dead hands.

It's well-known that all Germans love David Hasselhoff, so I'm thinking that when he's not headlining as the Prince of Lies, Satan, he must have a secret thing for Linux.

It was draft card burning, in the O'Brien case, which was found not to be speech and to be illegal. The government was said to have a legitimate interest in preventing the destruction of official documents.
