As long as we're proposing songs which we would prefer to "The Star Spangled
Banner" as our national anthem, how about Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your
Land"?  It's much more positive than the blood & guts school of patriotic
songs, and it has a nice tune, too.  (I must admit that it is a bit subversive
-- take a look some time at the portion of the lyrics which don't make it into
elementary school music textbooks.)
