Sharon, you found the Jesus Action Figure!

I think the disclaimer on the cowboy stuff may be because it is Against the Law for anyone to claim goods are "Indian Made" unless the makers are actually officially registered with a Native American tribe, and they just don't want to mislead anyone. In the last few years there has been a lot of brouha about people who aren't Native Americans making and selling Native American crafts, the premise being it takes jobs away from Native Americans. As if all Native Americans know how to do is make crafts... anyway, that's a whole other subject for another thread.

Mick, I am not sure of the exact wording but I think there is something in the Bible about being patriotic, insomuch as people are supposed to support the leaders of their respective countries and such, and obey the laws, and Render Unto Caesar. Perhaps someone more scholarly can expound.

Lookit, I came up in the Baptist church, and trust me, we get our share of jokes too. Most of them have to do with dancing or casseroles. :-)
