70. That is exactly correct ...

Edited on Tue Feb-08-11 04:35 AM by Geoffrey_Lebowski

The obligation for the hand on heart is for the fricking PLEDGE.

The whole idea is that you're making a PLEDGE, so you put your hand on your heart as a symbol of the solemness of the promise you're making.

Maybe military is supposed to salute during this song, technically, but I don't think civilians are obliged to for the ANTHEM.

To do so, IMHO, denigrates the meaning of the hand over the heart for the Pledge ... then it just become like, 'hey, a bunch of us are looking at a flag, so you gotta put your hand on your heart'.

Beck is a dipshit.
