    you talking the whole star spangled banner or just the piece sung before sports games?

      I was born in a city hospital. There was a time in 85 my mother and I were on food stamps and received gov't cheese. I watched lots of Sesame Street/Mr Rogers/PBS as a kiddo. I went to public schools, I went to a state university, I've used 911 services to report crimes as well as call for help. I've used public roads all my life. I've sent and received lots of mail through the USPS. Off the top of my head I'm quite the socialist in today's teaparty view of socialism.

        I know the words to the national anthem.

        Kind of an interesting subject, actually. Some time after 9/11 I pretty much lost faith in this country, and I don't know that I'll ever get it back. I was very heavily patriotic in my youth, and still admire this countries early history, or at lest the truncated version of it we're sold in school. "History is hard to know because of all the hired bullshit." Hunter S. Thompson. It kind of disgusts me considered a few heavy parts my direct family played in the founding this country,(both good and ill) and all the New England heritage I have.

          All four verses-

          O say can you see by the dawn's early light,
          What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
          Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
          O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
          And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
          Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
          O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
          O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

          On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
          Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
          What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
          As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
          Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
          In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
          'Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave
          O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

          And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
          That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
          A home and a country, should leave us no more?
          Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
          No refuge could save the hireling and slave
          From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
          And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
          O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

          O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
          Between their loved home and the war's desolation.
          Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
          Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
          Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
          And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
          And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
          O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

            Knew about somebody scamming the VA and didn't do anything about it.

                  I don't exercise my freedom of speech enough. Most of us here on this board are more conservative than anything and look how the world has changed in the last 20 years. If more people would have spoken out, myself included, maybe things would be different?

                    Oh, and counterfeiting US currency. That seems pretty un-American.

                            I was once apathetic about voting, but I didn't care enough to change it.

                              I voted a straight ticket once. I still feel awful about it to this day.
