(1) Zero Gravity
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside-down, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 C.

The Russians used a pencil. Your taxes are due again--enjoy paying them.

(2) Our Constitution
"They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq . Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, and it's worked for over 200 years. And, we're not using it anymore."

( 3) Ten Commandments
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse is that you cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.

I'm gonna be totally pedantic here, but only because I'm a big NASA geekette.

Pencils are flammable, especially in a oxygen rich environment like a rocket. That was a big concern after a fire in Apollo 1 killed 3 astronauts. And bits of graphite breaking off and floating around and being inhaled were no joke either.

Paul Fisher spent his company's money to develop the cool pens you described. One other very important feature was that it that would not burn. He sold them to NASA for $2.95 a piece...and the Soviets bought them too.
