Hmm, hmm, hmmmm.... My faith dictates that one must follow one's own moral compass first and foremost, valuing good over what the establishment or government might say. Therefore, I have decided that pledging allegiance to a country, leaving no room for interpretation or "I will follow my country as long as I agree with it" infringes on my religion and desire to have it stricken fron the nation.
My lawyer said he'd call me back a week ago, so look for me in the papers any day now.
DISCLAIMER: The above post was tongue in cheek. I, personally, think it's a foolish argument and I, personally, refrain from reciting the Pledge for my own reasons. I also think that, if we're really living in a democracy, they should just put the question on the ballot this November and let the people decide for themselves whether or not they want "under God" in the pledge at all.
