• How Would You Answer The Question?

  “I can’t claim to know the words of all the national anthems in the world, but I don’t know of any other that ends with a question and a challenge as ours does: Does that flag still wave o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?”           …

  Avast, me hearties! There’s riches for the takin’ if we just set our sights on what’s out there! Arrrrgh! Pirates in their fictionalized state are fun.
