>>As soon as I announce my run for president, I'll post it there. Of course, anytime I hear the national anthem, you are free to take my picture, because unless someone shoots me (and I may be laying there with blood oozing out of my ears) I'll have my hand over my heart, and i'll be looking at the flag, and most likely thinking about how proud I have ALWAYS been of this country. I'll probably also be thinking about how lucky I feel to live here.<vbg>

>You know, this stuff is really bs. First, the custom (not the law) is hand over heart for the Pledge of Allegiance, not the National Anthem.

>Second, who cares? Do you consider me un-American because I don't say "under God" when I do say the Pledge.

>I actually think all this flag worship is nonsense. I wouldn't say the Pledge at all, if it didn't include the words "and to the Republic for which it stands." That's something I believe in. The flag is a piece of cloth and the Star-Spangled Banner is a lousy national anthem.
