There are certain things a nation has that represents this nation, and therefor they are perceived as very important. The national anthem would be one of them.

In Mexico one is not aloud to alter, change, angle the message of the national anthem in any way. Should so be done you may end up as some poor professional singer meddling in the text a bit too much - with a million peso fine.

Well, maybe I shouldn´t say anything. After all, we still have the "flag laws" in Sweden, stating that the sun must never set on our oh so glorious flag. And yes, we still hold on to that seriously annoying, undemocratic, ridiculous system called monarchy. A disgrace.


Off with her head!
