Painting the flag gold is a US Federal Offence, punishment is a mandatory 25 year stint at Guantanamo Bay.
That's another part of the US that really amazes me.
They go on and on about being the freeist (sp?) country on earth but the US police all seem to be ultra authoritarian twats who see nothing wrong with physically assaulting you for simply questioning them.
The recent example of the 2 black guys in starbucks is a good example they'd been in the shop just 3 minutes when the cops were called and arrived a minute later and they arrested them. How bad does a country need to get when you can't even wait for a friend at a coffee shop for a few minutes without thinking you may get arrested?
strawberry floating hell, half of the people who shop in WH Smiths would be in prison by now for the crime of reading a magazine without paying for it.
