Google values its own intellectual property very highly—just ask opposing counsel—but loves a free web. And bless them for doing what corporations have always done: Being evil while telling everyone else not to be.

To the modern mind, it seems an obvious inclusion—although many of the European constitutions drafted after WWII have no such thing. We are now so steeped in an idea-based economy—if not a whole life in the ether of cyberspace—that it makes retroactive sense that the Founders envisioned a future full of....

Nowadays, of course, we're so used to the off-kilter geometry of the American Flag that we don't even notice it, the way we don't notice that American exceptionalism is completely, for real, for better and for worse. But in 1776, the normal thing to do was the normal thing to do. To stick a square in one corner but not the others was completely....
