<DIV id=AppleMailSignature>MORE ON TAKING A KNEE: "Borrowed from Gail Larsen:
</DIV>
<DIV id=AppleMailSignature> </DIV>
<DIV id=AppleMailSignature>Our country is injured - take a knee!!</DIV>
<DIV id=AppleMailSignature> </DIV>
<DIV id=AppleMailSignature>Sam, age 15 "Mom, I don't understand the outrage over
people taking a knee. It's actually the most patriotic thing one can do when our
anthem plays right now." </DIV>
<DIV id=AppleMailSignature> </DIV>
<DIV id=AppleMailSignature>I asked him to explain his train of thought.</DIV>
<DIV id=AppleMailSignature> </DIV>
<DIV id=AppleMailSignature>"My coach taught me you take a knee when a player is
down from any team. You do it as a sign of respect and send energy to that
player that he can not only get up, but not have an injury that he can't
overcome. You're thanking him for a game hard played and hope he can join it
soon. Both teams want the game to begin again, knowing their players are going
to be ok and united in a show of comaraderie.</DIV>
<DIV id=AppleMailSignature> </DIV>
<DIV id=AppleMailSignature>Anyone with half a brain knows our country is
injured, we have people down. It's time for all sides to take a knee and focus
their energy on helping the injured so the game can go on. Our team, the U.S.,
is actually disrespectful if we stand and cheer while we have players down. I
love my team, I care for its players. When the anthem plays I will take a knee
and send energy to healing so that the team can play on."</DIV>
