Could I say, as a Marylander since about the second day of my life (I was born in Washington DC) how much I _hate_ that song? I mean really, really hate that song. The state needs to get rid of it pretty much immediately. Some of the lyrics read, "The tyrant's heel is on thy shore / avenge the gore of Baltimore" IIRC. The tyrant in question is _Abraham Lincoln_ and the "gore of Baltimore" was that of a pro-secessionist crowd of thugs who attacked Union troops passing through Baltimore in an attempt to reinforce Washington in the early days of the war. Everything about it is just atrocious. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
