I didnt taint the poll by voting, since it was restricted. I sing ours and the Canadian anthem when its played, even though Im not Canadian. They are both very moving and reflect on the best of Western values.
As far as Owsley goes, I respect his right to free speech. As a veteran I also hope he pulls that in the midst of a group of veterans and they teach him a life long lesson about the practical limits of free speech.
