Leenia, we have had discussions before and will have them again about whether or not we believe in/approve of everything we sing. Although I do often tweak lyrics a bit, sometimes I am singing a song for its historical value or what it tells us about how others think. And sometimes there's a degree of ambivalence, when the lyrics appeal in some ways and not in others. The name of the tune does represent the date of the Battle of New Orleans, January 8, 1815
