Dear Lew,

Charles Burris’ piece on The State replacing The Church can best be seen when watching a National Football League game.

At the beginning all are told to rise, men to remove their head coverings, place their hand on their heart and sing the National Hymn, aka, The Star Spangled Banner. Said banner is held over the entire field by dozens of people shaking it to simulate waving in the breeze. At this point a military flyover is done while trailing red, white and blue smoke much as incense is burned to sanctify the field and the event itself.

ALL HAIL THE EMPIRE!
