[...] the love and affection of enough Oklahomans for them name “Do You Realize?” as their state song. This makes me wonder if California have a state song and whether it not it is anywhere near as [...]

Kudos to Governor Henry for approving the song anyway. 11,000 Oklahomans chose the song, and they should not have been punished because one perpetual adolescent wore a symbol of death and destruction on his T-shirt as an ironically-hip fashion statement.

But can we also agree that it’s high time to stop treating communist symbols as cute? The hammer and sickle represents a boot stomping on collective humanity’s face. Tens of millions of innocents died at the hand of dehumanizing communist regimes.

The hammer and sickle is a hateful symbol. Let’s have the moral courage to call it what it is.

That said, I’m glad the Lips’ song is the new official state rock song of Oklahoma! It’s a great song!
