On that note of journalists losing their job after 911 US journalists lost their jobs for saying certain things (like Bill Mahr of Politically Incorrect) and others were told they had to wear American flag lapel pins, which those journalists felt was unprofessional (besides being coercive). How does wearing a flag make a person more patriotic? It's like saying that if you put a Christian fish on the back of your car, you're a more spiritual person.

p.s. Dancer, I was a working artist and craftsperson a few decades back.
