Re: barr roseanne? No, Skin sinead

well actually i think that the reason some of us percieve sinead's action
as an ego trip is that i doubt she would've made a fuss about any other
national anthem than america's.  you say a lot about the freedoms that we
have in america, and i agree with you that we are really lucky to have them--
so when someone like sinead starts criticizing our country you have to wonder
what she is proposing as an alternative.  yes there are a lot of knee-jerk
conservatives in this country who are into flag waving, but there are also
a LOT of knee-jerk liberals here who are into flag BURNING, simply because
it's "politically correct" <-- (sarcasm intended).  i consider myself to
belong to neither group.  yes sinead has the right to criticize our country.
but i don't have to like it and frankly i agree with every poster who's
called her a self-righteous *****.
