Damn you, I was going to post that. Best version ever. By a mile. EDIT: 1. our youth football announcer plays it before every game (along with the NFL theme music). WAY cool. 2. I love how she just goes out there in basically a jogging suit and annihilates the song. With eleventy billion people about to watch the super bowl. No muss, no fuss. Just let her voice dominate. 3. every time i hear it, I think sadly of the loss of Whitney and her phenomenal talent. Just sucks.

I'd actually be happier if it was. I hate the Star Spangled Banner. It's difficult to remember, difficult to sing, and just (in my opinion) crappy. I honestly don't think I could sit here and recite the entire anthem by heart, even though I've heard it a hundred thousand times or whatever. It's just not an easy song in any way.

It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves. Since, Elizabeth, it's impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. It's an important message, crucial really. And it's beautifully stated on the album.

Why should I pledge my allegiance to a country? Is it not enough to pay my taxes and vote in elections? I'm not going to work as a spy for another country and I have no plans to become an expat. I just won't say the pledge. My country, like all other countries, is imperfect and has made plenty of terrible mistakes. Why should I declare my dedication to a country that will no doubt make more mistakes in the future? Why should I have to say that I'll support my country no matter what actions it takes? Just to clarify, I wouldn't pledge my allegiance to any country, so don't think that I'm just singling out the United States. |

But if I were to stand, I would add at the very end my own little self satisfying end. It goes like this.... "with liberty and justice for all, except minorities and the poor."
I like keeping it real. |

So the National Anthem isn't for him. Now he can get back to writing depressing songs where he whines about a stupid ex-girlfriend dumping him or his mommy issues. He's a bitch. **** him.

Duh. Democracy always states that birthright is a basic freedom. Useless "One Nation Under God" pledges aside.
