wonder how the Tea party/Conservative nuts would have reacted IF the coke-cola commercial

with the multi-national rendition of America the Beautiful first verse was done using Native Americans singing in their Native languages.

A friend of ours posed the question last night stating that LONG before the Europeans came over they lived in harmony with the spacious sky, the purple mountain majesties etc.
