I just read an article on how people threaten before an election to move to Canada, but hardly anyone does. The immigration lawyer said this: "I've had Americans tell me this: When your national anthem plays, the hair on their arms stands up, and that's not like most people in the world," he said.

I can actually relate to that feeling. Anyone else?

I was taught to react that way. And then I learned it was a bar song, converted into a recount of a battle that someone survived.

It took something away from it for me.

Patriotism doesn't have anything to do with the symbols of the country, it is the way you treat the people in your country.

Yes, I do.

I care about my country and it is sad that we are given crap to choose from for leadership.

True Willow, we had nothing to choose from this election. I wonder if the public will ever smarten up and realize that no matter who we vote for we're gonna get screwed over.
