Lord -

The point is not whether I have to plege, but that its part of the gov't spondering. Being part of that gov't makes me part and parcell of that worship, however small. I take oaths and pledges seriously, as do many people. To us this is not a minor issue, but an important statement.

To me this isn;t about kids, who could care less about it, but about the message we are sending to each other. We all know that "God" in this case is a by-word for the Christian god, and I for one want to call a spade a spade. If this is going to be a Christian Country, fine, let me know so I can move to Canada... if not then lets leave god in our churches and homes, and keep our GOv't secular!!!
