This is what my friends and I do in our spare time..
I'm personally trying to get this bull removed from our schools, by whatever means possible. Written by my friend Chris and I. I pledge no allegiance to the flag of the Divided States of Embarrassment, and to the religion that stole the nation, 300 million people, under Fox News, with intolerance and bigotry for all. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/note.php...49&comments http://the-fragged-mind.blogspot.com/2009/...allegiance.html -------------------- Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget God. The stars died so that you could be here today. ~Lawrence Krauss

Nope. Like I said, I don't necessarily think the pledge should be in schools, but I have the same stance I always have - I don't care. Saying 'under God' did nothing to or for my religious choices in life, I feel about the state of affairs in this country the same as I would have had I said your pledge, and 90% of the time, I was tired, so I enjoyed the extra ten seconds sitting and spacing out thanks to my choice to refuse. Sorry.
 And personally, I do feel we've accomplished something. At least you have. You have to at least be a little stronger and clearer in your convictions now that you've had them nit-picked to death. You're welcome~ -------------------- i'm like oh kimosabe, your body is my hobby    the official 'you bitch' count: a whole lot last updated 11/05 |

Now I can just tactfully reword everything, maybe give it some more thought, start a petition, get a bunch of people to sign off on on, and present it to the administration. Luckily for me, they don't know my views on religion, and certainly not to the extent that the people that have been reading the issues forum on here do, so that may give me the upper hand. Oh, and you have made me realize something. I won't accept just the "under God" removed anymore.
