I take massive offense to that statement. You are insulting a lot of extremely great people. My deceased, beloved father one of them. One of the great human beings of all time...and at one time a high school principal. I apprecicate your enthusiastic patriotism...but please stop with the
bulls it.

Well since you insist.....fucl< them....and their bullsh!t.

Since your Father passed away it does not include him...right?



I have seen too many of these "plying their trade" so don't tell me I insult a " lot of extremely great people." The few who are different aren't insulted.

mine was an atheist, who married a Catholic, who (she) became an agnostic, who became an Episcopalian, who probably could have made Muslim if she hadn't died last year. I mean...it's like being a free agent...there are very few loyals anymore

[Mortimer]

Hey...don't listen.










I don't care!

Wow, hard to believe people get upset about the lack of the National Anthem before a game. I had actually forgotten they play the Anthem at the track until visiting Saratoga this year. Most people look at it as an inconvenience to stop and be quiet for a few minutes.

I'm as patriotic as the next guy, probably moreso than most, but I don't think this is any big deal.

[Mortimer]

But I appreciate your Dannie like input.






Thank you so much.

[Mortimer]

Oh.

Another thought.





That's the really great thing. These guys did all they did so we can still live where you don't have to play the anthem or any other patriotic song before a sporting event...and if they do play it.....you can kibitz or even talk on your cell phone to the Michigan president.

One could even burn the flag while the song was being played.

None of that is illegal...it's a free country.

Nothing says you have to do it.

[Mortimer]

Well Morty Moron ,notroious thread hijacker, has said all he is going to say about it.



I don't even have to come back here to listen to these swell songs because I have them in fav places and play them at least once a day.

This odd habit of mine is a great inconvenience to me ,but I do it as self punishment for being a raging idiot..... and I don't like pain.

i was going to show my mom this string but i guess that's out.

in your favor, i'll have to weigh this possibility for my own funeral against the prior plan to have my corpse dumped out of a plane over disneyland.

i'll let you know if i'm offended or thankful once i decide.
