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>

I prefer to live it and show it by my actions. They include, among other things:

- choosing to live in a racially, religiously, ethnically and economically diverse community;
- voting in every primary and general election since I turned 18;
- volunteering my time for my community and my schools;
- being willing to criticize my government when it's wrong.
