<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>there is, or has been, some talk about changing our national anthem to god bless america...i was wondering what thoughts were out there on this...i have sung the anthem on many occassions at professional sporting events, and it is not an easy song for the most experienced bard...however, i wonder if it is appropriate to change horses midstream, so to speak...i understand that this country was founded "under god", and i have great faith in some higher power, but our country was also founded as a haven for religious freedom, speech, etc...will this be a step in the direction of the loss of some freedoms? just a thought--me playing devil's advocate and all, since i am a reporter...isabella</FONT></HTML>
