Dunno the words, but do know the chune courtesy of "All You Need Is Love." If I ever knew, I've forgotten why the Beatles et al chose to use that as the intro, but it's cool. > I think more people know and would prefer Jerusalem for a natoinal song here, but I think that's just the right-wing nature of the world today unfortunately. I think "Jerusalem" is beautiful, but because I've been too ingrained with the separation of church and state, I would not think it appropriate. However, there, where the church and state share the same leader, there is not a "procedural" problem with it. But hey -- why not "World In Motion?" ;-) LOL pick some rousing footie song, that'd be more like it! > Not sure about SSB, but I take it that the "land of the free" and other such bits doesn't apply to Guantanamo Bay... (adopts shocked face) Of course not! That's in Cuba, land of the dictator with whom we had a heated Cold War in the 60s and yet we have a base there and yet that's weird because we're not allowed to holiday there or buy any Cuban cigars! Prisoners? due process? Who? There are many here of all ideologies who believe that we have strayed too far from the basic tenets we seem to all agree on, but nobody can figure out, much less agree on, how to get *back* to those tenets. On the Fourth I literally struggled with whether to put my hand over my heart when the symphony played the anthem. Most people didn't out of sheer ignorance or laziness or because their right hand was full of a turkey leg they were chewing on, but I was struggling. I don't approve of our current policies and really haven't ever. WWII is the last time we had a good and sane leader and a just cause. I finally did salute because I thought of my relatives who were honest and brave people and some of whom fought and died in those various wars, from the Revolutionary War to Vietnam. The story of how my uncle was spared Vietnam and how our cousin died to protect a man with a family are just the most recent events. - --Amy ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V2 #533 ********************************
