If you have ever seen a Public Defender's business card, it will frequently quote the Miranda warnings on the back.

On the back:
"The Highland dress is essentially a 'free' dress -- that is to say, a man's taste and circumstances must alone be permitted to decide when and where and how he should wear it... I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed."
-- The Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, The Kilt & How to Wear It, 1901.
Now that's an idea... but would it have any affect? After all, "A man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still"
