This is a pledge chanted by children? Every day???

But it gets worse. According to JTT there was a time in the recent past when it would be recited while standing with hand clasped to heart. Someone else even claims to remember the ritual being accompanied by a fascist-style salute!

If this sort of thing was parroted by kids in North Korea (and no doubt it is) I expect DougR and Banjer would be quick to put a name to it. Brainwashing.

Is it too much to hope that the court ruling and the WorldCom fiasco, between them, spell the beginning of the end for Christian capitalism? As for those comments from Bush.... Well for once I'm speechless.
