I also realize some people have an issue with the pledge itself and that is understandable as well. My real point was to say that if you have issue with the nation of America itself - just leave. This is not to say that you have to agree with everything the government does (I don't think anybody does). If you think everything is so much better in Holland, for example, get fitted for your wooden shoes right now!
That must be it,P.N. Nobody is compelled to live in America, for whatever reason. So the choice to leave is absolute. I guess I just have a problem with people tying Church and State together. I do not; and never willingly would question one's beliefs- that is a matter of choice. But putting these two together will always be a problem because many unwittingly think we should. I apologize for the misinterpreptation. Bythe way, How are things going over there in Iraq? Are you getting plenty of sun? LOL.
