Fair enough, mg...

Maybe I should clarify one thing...I would prefer a country where children were NOT lining up in school each morning, placing their hands on their hearts, and reciting a Pledge of Allegiance or a Loyalty Oath. I don't like the Pledge of Allegiance one bit.

The reason I'm objecting to the present controversy that has been raised about it, however, is that it has been raised around whether or not the phrase "under God" should be in the Pledge... That's a very minor side issue, as far as I'm concerned, and it's a petty one. This is only my own opinion, which is as subjective as anyone else's. What seems petty to me may seem vital to you...

I'm glad there is no such pledge in Canada.
