And if I'm going to gripe, because that's my freedom......if you ever really listen to the darn words of the song it's a ridiculous song. O Say.....does that star spangled banner yet wave? That's the best we could do?

I'm not sure if you are criticising or simply observing, but I laid out earlier that I think you're NOT SUPPOSED to be sure if the arm link is protest or not.
I think some strongly wanted to protest and some strongly did not, so they linked arms to show that they were respectful, but breaking with tradition, but most importantly united as a team.
