So just because I'm sick to death of the tacky red white n' blue theme
and I happen to be making a political statement with my stamps, a
statement the government itself by offering my such stamps as the flag,
breast cancer awareness, and looney toons grants me, my FBI case file
gets reopened?

I always wondered about that - how enforcable IS the Flag Code?  Is it
law or just practice?  In the Boy Scouts (yikes!) we were told it was
law, and I've never really thought about it much besides when I see the
giant flags flying at 3 am in a rainstorm, or as those tacky little
antenna flags that are so popular right now.
