I stand for the National Anthem. It might be passé to show clear support for any State, but I am glad to be able to live in this one, despite its many faults. We surely haven't the resources and technology to live in a stateless society yet, and looking at the history of human civilization, at least this one has a judicial system. I also stand for the National Anthem because we shouldn't take everything to mean everything. I am not a religious person, but when I am at a Catholic mass, I still take communion and say 'amen' when the priest hands me what he sees to be the body of Christ. I enjoy that ritual.
