Speaking of good questions…

BobsAdvice has a timely one.

Does anyone recall the history of the Anthem?

I just thought I would remind everyone.

You know.

How we were fighting the BRITISH in the War of 1812. And now we are fighting to preserve the National Anthem so it shoud be sung only in the language of that enemy we were fighting?

Maybe we should sing it in the language of our true friends (true enough to tell us when we go wrong) through thick and thin, friends who never invaded our country.

You know, the French.
