The fascist-like social pressure to stand up during the national anthem to honor our freedom is ironic. I'm done with it. If we were truly a free country, we would have the right to choose to honor (or not honor) our country as we individually see fit. So I will no longer be complicit in standing up as a protest against the U.S. military actions and neo-imperialist policies.
Unless, of course, I'm sitting in the wrong (higher-priced) seat at a baseball game and don't want to draw attention to myself.
