            My response to our President, regarding standing for the anthem: https://dent.smithfam.info/attachment/31578

              Standing for the anthem is OK, and not standing for the anthem is OK. I recommend doing the latter respectfully.

                I stand and remove my hat for the national anthem. That's my deal. But I respect your right to take a knee every bit as much as I respect your right to burn a flag, even though I would not do that either. If you can't make a conscientious protest against injustice, especially injustice on the part of your government, then the last 250 years have been a waste of our fucking time and America's a failure.
