Guess that answers that question.
Congressperson XXX is a Democrat outside my district representation. XXX Voted in favor of the resolution to create a constitutional amendment to prevent desecration of the flag. I was moved to write the following. I don’t expect a response. I don’t even expect the representative to read it. Still, I’m going to post it here. I’m curious to hear what my readers thing.
Dear Congressperson XXX,
I am admittedly not a consituant in your district. I moved to Washington State in June of 2005 into district #2. I am writing to simply state that I am gravely disappointed.
I have read that you voted in favor of HJ Res 10 supporting a Constitutional amendment to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States.
The United States Constitution has been a document designed to limit the powers of the US Government. In only one case has it been changed to limit the rights of people. This was Prohibition. This amendment was struck shortly after its passage.
By supporting this, you are supporting regulating the rights of the People in the constitution. Specifically, you are removing the right to voice free expression.
Our country was founded on the idea that we may speak and express ourselves freely regardless if the general public agrees with us or not.
But, I am not writing you to attempt to convey my views of how I perceive the constitution is supposed to work.
I am writing because I am disappointed that issues like this still come up in Congress when there are so many issues that will be overshadowed or in general ignored that actually would help the people of this nation.
I consider myself an active voter. I research the candidates and issues on my ballot. However, I have found myself often ignoring issues outside my district.
I can’t do that anymore after seeing this issue.
I am writing because I am curious not only why you voted in support of this issue, but more importantly if you really support this style of legislation that really accomplishes nothing in support of the things we really need our government to fix.
Sincerely,
-Andrei Freeman

From the Law offices of “Dewey, Cheetham, and Howe”…
The are certain family names that should just avoid certain lines of work. I don’t doubt that these people have the talent to fill the position. I just think that naming their business after their names might be bad.
The example I saw recently:
Machetti’s Hair Stylist.
(And that’s a biiiig blade)
Can anyone come up with other good ones for a list?
First off, yes. I’m in the office.
I like getting in early at the a&$crack of dawn. It’s 35-45 minutes in/out without traffic. So I get in around 5:30-6:15 and I leave around 3 (assuming I’m not running late due ot the work load)
The radio this morning was going on about how Solstice is at 5:26 (6 minutes now)… The beginning of summer and the time of the year when the Druids let the local pagans actually get close to Stonehenge.
Unfortunately, much like when the millenium started, the radio didn’t seem to get it quite right.
They kept announcing today as, “The longest day of the year.”
Now, I may be wrong, but as far as I can tell, the solstice time is the pivot across the tropic of cancer. So the days start getting shorter again. Theoretically that means that today might have less day than yesterday. Granted the solstice point was closer to today than yesterday.. so it might be today.
Sometimes Astonomy/Astrology makes my head spin. (4 minutes)
IF will be celebrating this evening. So hopefully this will be a quick and not-to stressful (long) day at work.
Guess that’s it for this morning. The clock on the desktop says 5:25am so 1 minute and counting.
(waits and stares at the desktop clock)
5:26 am. Happy Solstice, Happy crossing of the Tropic of Cancer….
Happy 24 hour day people north of Alaska.
Woot
