To the best of my knowledge no public schools even say the pledge everyday anymore.
Sure some people look at people funny at a ballgame if they don't stand and say the pledge, but some people sit through it drinking beer looking at the people who are standing and saying the pledge as if they're something wrong with them. People sit, chat, buy soda, go to the bathroom, and many other things instead of saying the pledge. Big Brother isn't looking and taking names. [img]smile.gif[/img] To me the US Pledge is our pledge to one another, not to a specific leader or party. The pledge has been around for over a dozen presidents because it isn't to a pledge to one man or one party, it's a pledge to an idea.

On another note; wasn't the original pledge of allegiance "I pledge allegience to my flag, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisiable, with liberty and justice for all."? I think they originally intended to include equality as well, but left it out due to racial issues back then.

No, we don't have that here, and our national anthem is not so popular too i'm afraid.
