I seriously think that it should be changed to America The Beautiful. It has all the things that makes America the country that it is. The other was written about a flag on some fort, by a guy held prisoner on a ship. It wasn't even about the Revolutionary War, it was from the war of 1812, which we almost lost. Geesh. But its cool, because people can sing the much better song on any language that they want. Which you cant do with the national anthem. I think that law was passed, its depressing if it was.

As I already said this, doubtful.

Been like this since 1931 and before.

If you don't understand the circumstances of or the meaning behind the National Anthem, why should you have any credibility on the subject of changing it?

Fuck too much government spending, the war on drugs, gang violence, and the terrorist threat.  The issue addressed in this topic is the REAL issue in America.
