Post-PATRIOT Magnetic Motto Maker README
=========================================

The web-filtering, motto-making, t-shirt-printing, magnet poetry software thingee.

You've probably seen word magnet poetry, the craze that's sweeping refrigerators around 
the globe. But did you know that the US Government uses magnet poetry to assemble its 
stirring slogans? How else to explain such eloquence as the full name of the 
USA PATRIOT Act: "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools 
Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism" .... 
But, as poetic as the name may be, it turns out the PATRIOT Act has got a few bugs. 
Perhaps there are some better alternatives. We think there's lots more people-rallying 
slogans out there just waiting to be unearthed. So we've decided to make magnet poetry 
motto-making technology available to the public. Now you can use the very same 
technique as the US Government to generate your own magnetically poetic battle cries... 
and maybe even replace USA PATRIOT with something for the public good! 

Just move the magnets around the refrigerator to form phrases. When you have a phrase
you like, drape the flag over it and doubleclick in the flag. The Motto-Maker will 
automatically check your phrase in Google - just in case it might have some unforseen
bugs like USA PATRIOT - wouldn't want another embarrassment like that, would we? 
This also turns your magnet poetry experience into a web-filtering system... filtering
is all the rage these days - it may even qualify you for US government funding! 

But, the Motto-Maker isn't just for online research fun. Like any proper office tool, 
it features a wealth of export functionality as well. The PPMMM lets you save and print 
your slogans - in either their full frig-fashion glory, or proudly emblazoned in big 
bold letters in your choice of plain or stylized text. So you can publish your slogans 
online, print stickers, flyers, and address labels, make T-shirts... even export your 
slogans directly to Washington - and much much more! Strut your stuff! Make a fashion 
statment! Start a sticker campaign! Start a meme!
