I guess I'm just a #$(& but I take the George Carlin approach to standing/saluting/removing head wear when it comes to national anthems.
If you don't know what that means look it up, you won't be disappointed.
I never remove my hat during anthems, I fail to see how that makes me unpatriotic or "rude", if it does in your someones eyes I more than likely don't give a damn what they think
Hard to believe this toque thing matters one way or the other.
