Well, there IS a really big thing waiting for anyone who doesn't keep their oath: perjury, impeachment, nonfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance....

Deep inside something says to me, "Keep your word, keep your promise, and you don't need an oath. It's what you should do anyway because it's the right thing TO do."

"...A promise made is a debt unpaid..." Service wrote. Unfortunately, too many people are worming their way out of their debts today.

Heck, if you want to swear on the Pentatuch, the Koran, the Bhagava-Gita, the Tao Te Chin, your sword, whatever -- I don't care. Just keep your word.
