Of course if I had my druthers, we'd just eliminate having schoolchildren say the pledge altogether.
If I had my druthers, we'd just eliminate schoolchildren, then watch 'elimidate.'
Why doesn't anyone ask God's opinion on this? I don't think he was even consulted before they added him to the pledge in '54.
Ok, I asked. God asks how "for fuck's sake" is he expected to endorese a fictional entity with just barely even a pretense of identity through time. "Do you think I endorsed the McCarthy debacle?" God asked, rhetorically, "or Nixon?" "You pompous fucking Americans," God lectured me, "think you have divine mandate? You're lucky if i'm even the mood to like half of you at any time," Wow. I told God he was a prick and it was no wonder people never asked his opinion.
