Either way - the most easily misuseable word of politics ! :roll:
I estimate about 90% of all national anthems contain that ideal ... and not much else.
The british one is a nice exception btw, because at least it contains the idea of world peace.
So yeah, if some idiot promises you freedom, please, please, pretty PLEASE look VERY carefully WHAT kind of freedom. :|
Quite frankly, in my experience, the people who cry out "freedom" the loudest are those people who just want the freedom of the rich to prey on the poor, by calling it "freedom of choice" or "equality of chances".

Heh. National anthems we´re more honest when they just said "long live the emporer" :-)
Heil dir im Siegerkranz...*sings*
btw. the soviet russian one has a nice melody.
oh, and happy birthday to the US of A.
TinPenguin:
Happy Paperwork Day, Yanks. :wink:

Beauregard lead the Battery that fired on Fort Sumter.
Border Reiver:
This was a good weekend to be along the Cdn/US border.
Take Friday off - Go North of the Border, consume large quantities of fermented barley and hops while consuming the dead animal of your choice along with french fries, cheese curds and gravy, watch lots of explosions that make pretty patterns in the sky.
Take Monday off - Go south of the Border, quantities of fermented barley and hops while consuming the dead animal of your choice along with deep fried potatoes, watch lots of explosions that make pretty patterns in the sky.

That was in April, so spring, not summer.
