Nothing to do with worship, or freedom, and I think saying that is a very nutty distortion. England is our mother country and our ally. When she rejoices, we should at least smile.
I won't recognize Britain as *my* "mother country".Yes,she's an ally...a good and valuable ally.I respect the British people and have no animosity toward the "royal family" but they're just people.I neither rejoice nor curse at the announcement of this birth.
