Tonight I presume the UO marching band wiĺl play the national anthem. I will stand and be silent out of respect to the performance and to my sometimes flawed but overall great country. If a person down the row from me doesn't stand, well whatever, that's his or her choice. Of course, if that person wants to walk by me to get to the aisle, or perhaps if that person wants to pass money to the end of the aisle in exchange for concessions, I might not be particularly cooperative or personable.
