Yeah, I too was unhappy about the insertion of 'under God' in the pledge and refused to make the pledge for the remaining two years I was in high school. It just didn't seem right. Later (I can't remember just when) the words 'In God We Trust' were added to our money (I recall that they had been on some coins before) and THAT bothered me even more until someone quipped; "In God we Trust, all others pay cash".

I don't know how I feel about this right now, I agree we are in for one of those endless rounds of righteousness and turmoil ala Elian Gonzales and THAT I find more bothersome. I wonder if someone thinks these things up to distract us?!
