Is there a better protest than sitting for the national anthem?

kbstafford89"If you think the country can be better, stand for the ideal. If you think the answer is people showing unity, stand with them. The anthem is not the national police song. The anthem is not the national racists song. The anthem is an exercise in how this country can endure and rise, how we can agree on its future potential, even while struggling with its present. The anthem’s words depict a flag that is suffering through bombs and rockets. You could easily view those bombs and rockets as the challenges our democracy faces today, and the flag a symbol of rising above them." -Mitch albom

Sorry, but I can’t see how you could have a math degree and be off by so many orders of magnitude on such basic arithmetic.

“Sure there is. Move to Venezuela.”

Perfect! If they hate this country so much, then why haven’t they moved??

Please note the time of my original post. I should not try to do basic arithmetic so late at night, on the fly and in my head.
