Something to bash on

[kandrathe]

Part of being a minority (in my case, atheist) is knowing when to pick your fights. The money thing annoys me, but I know it to be an uphill battle I'm better off not touching.

Since someone decided to fight the Ten Commandments being posted at a court, I'm willing to support them. I show my chagrin at the change to the Pledge by repeating the Pledge but staying silent while everyone else says "under God" - or, at least, I did while I was still in school and actively saying the Pledge.

I actually would like the Pledge of Allegiance to be a patriotic thing, rather than intermingle the two allegiances. I would in favor of changing the pledge to "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with equality, liberty and justice for all."

Maybe this way it could be used again in public schools to promote better citizenship.
