But of course, to include them we'd have to include Con hogs.

There should be no debate, other countries have tweaked their anthems to bring then up to date, and so should we. Especially since we are only restoring the original version, and the bill is going to pass whether the Cons like it or not.

The anthem is reflective of another time and place. times have changed and so should the anthem. It took very little to make the anthem gender neutral and as having sung that anthem for "all our sons command", even as I child before gender neutral was a phrase, I thought the anthem was just about the boys, not the girls, so all these later, I'm happy it is changed. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.com
