This story is part of a series describing the slow, silent, death of democracy. In response to the bitter turmoil over the national anthem I am showing that the founding of this country was done by those who wanted, needed, more freedom than where they have come from. Part of this freedom is the right to not stand if one does not agree with doing so. It is the right not to say the pledge of allegiance if one chooses not to. It is about the fundamental right to stand for what one believes in. I will personally support those who chose not to stand for the anthem and I served in the military for four years. If I had to i would have sacraficed my life to give others the freedom not to stand for the national anthem. It doesn't get simplier than that. [more]

Morning was breaking over the landscape; a cool, refreshing breeze, laden with woodland sweets and wild birds' songs, softly kissed Mildred's cheek and awoke her. She started up with a low exclamation of delight, sprang to the open window, and kneeling there with her elbow on the sill and her cheek in her hand, feasted her eyes upon the beauty of the scene—a grand panorama of wooded hills, falling waters, wild glens and forests and craggy mountains, above whose lofty summits the east was glowing with crimson and gold.

I rounded the corner and stopped. All of the prisoners from the war were kneeling on the ground in front of the king, who was pacing back and forth in front of them. Each of them had their eyes focused on the ground. Even the boy’s. “How ironic,” King Baqoure was saying, “You, who praise yourselves on fighting better than any other army, are captured by the very men you say you fear. You, who murder people every day, couldn’t even kill my men. You, who harm your own people, just to ensure your own safety, are now the ones who will be harmed. You-” “Lies!” someone said, just barely above a whisper. All of the prisoners flinched and glanced out of the corners of their eyes. The king stopped and looked behind him, down the row. He hadn’t seen who’d said it. “What was that?” he sneered The boy I had seen earlier met the king’s eyes. “What you say is not true. We are not barbarians. We are not villains. We defend our city from those who are a threat! We do not kill people because we want to. We kill people because we have to!” King Baqoure laughed a little, “Are you trying to tell me that you are good people?” The boy glared at him. “Yes. Better than your people.” [more]

She Was Kneeling On The Hearthrug, Grasping The Poker Firmly In One Hand. Now And Again She Gave The Fire A Truculent Prod With It As Though To Emphasise Her Remarks. "'Ask And Ye Shall Receive'! . . . '_Tout Vient A Point A Celui Qui Sait Attendre_'! Where On Earth Is There Any Foundation For Such Optimism, I'D Like To Know?" A Sleek Brown Head Bent Determinedly Above Some Sewing Lifted Itself, And A Pair Of Amused Eyes Rested On The Speaker. "Really, Nan, You Mustn'T Confound French Proverbs With Quotations From The Scriptures. They'Re Not At All The Same Thing." "Those Two Run On Parallel Lines, Anyway. When I Was A Kiddie I Used To Pray--I'Ve Prayed For Hours, And It Wasn'T Through Any Lack Of Faith That My Prayers Weren'T Answered. On The Contrary, I Was Enormously Astonished To Find How Entirely The Almighty Had Overlooked My Request For A White Pony Like The One At The Circus." "Well, Then, My Dear, Try To Solace Yourself With The Fact That 'Everything Comes At Last To Him Who Knows How To Wait.'" "But It Doesn'T!" Penelope Craig Reflected A Moment. "Do You--Know--How To Wait?" She Demanded, With A Significant Little Accent On The Word "Know." "I'Ve Waited In Vain. No White Pony Has Ever Come, And If It Trotted In Now--Why, I Don'T Want One Any Longer. I Tell You, Penny"--Tapping An Emphatic Forefinger On The Other'S Knee--"You Never Get Your Wishes Until You'Ve Out-Grown Them." "You'Ve Reached The Mature Age Of Three-And-Twenty"--Drily. "It'S A Trifle Early To Be So Definite." "Not A Bit! I Want My Wishes _Now_, While I'M Young And Can Enjoy Them--Lots Of Money, And Amusement, And Happiness! They'Ll Be No Good To Me When I'M Seventy Or So!" "Even At Seventy," Remarked Penelope Sagely, "Wealth Is Better Than Poverty--Much. And I Can Imagine Amusement And Happiness Being Quite Desirable Even At Three Score Years And Ten." [more]
