The Tristrams were annoyed a while back at Scottish insistence at singing O Flower of Scotland instead of Scotland the Brave at sporting events because of it's 'anti-English' sentiments. Good grief, there is a line "...that sent them homewards, to think again!". Hardly filled with disdain.

I would like to know how much it will cost to sort this all through. Would it not be a better use of our expertise and resources to worry about how to feed all the children in Canada who go to school without breakfast or to provide families under the poverty line with better access to life’s necessities?<br />But of course who am I?! If "they" have their way "sons", "native", and "God" will be taken out and we will no longer recognize our own anthem.Stephanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895407124479555371.post-34093164396187760772010-03-04T06:00:08.035-08:002010-03-04T06:00:08.035-08:00Thank you for stopping by my blog today!!
