Default US Mint & "America the Beautiful" ?

How can US Mint claim that when so many other things use that
phrase? Postal Commemorative Society copyrighted that name for a set
of colorful postal covers issued throughout the 90's??


The phrase "America the Beautiful" appeals to people who like to reduce the
concept of patriotism down to sound bites and slogans. Marketers of all
kinds, including the USPS and the Mint, know this and exploit it to the
fullest extent possible. In my view, it's a shame that the original
inspirational poem by Katherine Lee Bates, set to music by Samuel Ward, and
later arranged into one of the most magnificent compositions ever for
concert band by Carmen Dragon, is so often used to make a buck, but, welcome
to America.
