Yesterday while the ward was singing "My Country Tis of Thee", I followed along with God Save the Queen. My wife hates it when I do that, thinking I'll gt my arse handed to me by righteous, patriotic, priesthood holders.

The "sister" in front of me kept turning around, and by the time we were done being good little patriots she was laughing.

She did ask why I chose that version, my ony naswer was, our government appears to be doing such a bang up job we could use a babysitter.

I think I made a new friend.

I think that's awesome! I sing the same song. However, my wife laughs and keeps sticking her elbow into my ribs to get me to stop. I sing all the way through...figuring that we have few freedoms left here in the U.S. anyway, so why should I praise the empire??

Nice going!

I sang the British National Anthem during the special 1977 Morg Church service when Salt Lake insisted that all British Wards and branches sang: "My Country, 'tis of Thee" as part of the Bicentennial celebrations. There was me and one or two other people who sang it, though all the sheeple went along with the programmed song. Though nobody like it.

"King George he had a date,
He stayed up ve-ry late,
He was the King,
Queen Anne she paced the floor,
He stayed 'til half past four,
She me-et him at the door,
God save the King."
