a sinkhole

so i am standing at the starting line for the George Sheehan Classic in Redbank on Saturday morning and as is customary they begin singing the National Anthem......5 , 10 , 15 seconds into this beautiful song I am increasingly aware that the people around me are still talking......mainly young girls/women......most of the men stood at "parade rest" with their hands over their hearts.....but not the girls....chatter, chatter, chatter about where they were last night and who they boffed and what time they were going to the beach......miserable, unpatriotic, miscreant slobs of the human species, ungrateful, self loathsome creatures that they are.....when the fuck did it become okay to disrepect the National Anthem of the United States of America?  we know the schools would never dare teach/instruct students about Patriotism and Love of Country.....but what about manners and respect.....even if you don't wish to honor this land, at least have the decency to shut the Fuck so that others may. what about parents....do they not want to risk their "Cool" status by disciplining their offspring when they exercise poor judgement in public ?....what a sad nation we have devolved into......a veritable sinkhole, it's a wonder the Lord hasn't wiped us off the planet yet.
