Cleveland, Ohio << The CWRU Film Society recently showed ... "Poltergeist", which << begins with the ... United States' National Anthem. ... I << automatically rose to my feet upon hearing the first three << unison notes. << ... a few viewers in front of me began to stand up, too! << More and more people stood up, and soon almost everyone in the << auditorium was on their feet, silently listening to the music. << A warm feeling rushed through my body ... This experience was << intensely invigorating ... it added to my enjoyment of the << film. Patriotism, pride, and fellowship were definately << components of what I was feeling. I was proud of my country << and of the audience. I do not know why. << Dave Decot Spoken like a true patriot! Maybe you'll go off to war on the same unknowing emotional high. --Genji
