Bob,
I sure don't like a Spanish Anthem, but let's face it, we do not have an official language in this country. English is the most accepted but is not the official language. Also; I'm not sure I don't agree with that! Somethings I'd rather not see made official; Church, Calendar, Time zones, Languages etc. Somethings are better Usage rather than Legalized. Only my feeling, for what its worth. Worth Zero. http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomPage |

You really like that kind of chais? |

Katy;
I wouldn't like to make a guess on how many Calendar are in use today and it really doesn't make a difference, Time Zones; Katy just look at the international Date Line. If it was straight Alaska would be our most Eastern State as well as our most Western. Same in the South Pacific. If time Zone are so important; why Daylight Saving Time? We don't have the slightest idea when Jesus was born but does it hurt to have two Christmases. Should we legalise something a few of us believe in? A National Anthem, born close to a 100 years after our Country was founded, by a English descendent, during a War among ourselves? Let's get our thinking ?? right? Who am I to say or who are you to tell me? http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomPage |

As for the rest, you forget that this nation's history is steeped not only in Englishness but also intertwined with France, Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal. While I am not certain singing the Star SPangled Banner in Spanish is quite kosher, at least they are singing it and have some national pride...I suppose you also complained when Jimi Hendrix performed his great guitar rendition at Woodstock? For my generation, that rendition says more than the archaic words set to an old English drinking song.... |
