Pledge Your Allegiance to this America
By so_skeevy
There are a lot of things I just don’t bother with anymore. One of them
is the pledge. Second period is when my school recites it. “Pledges
their allegiance”. But to what? Sometimes it seems like it is simply
to do whatever they are told. I say this not because I think it is wrong
to have faith in your country, but because it no longer seems like our
country we are pledging to. So why am I the only one in a class of nearly
twenty that doesn’t stare glassy eyed at the corner of the room, droning
on with meaningless jargon we memorized back in kindergarten? I do not
pledge myself to our republic. I will not stand there like a robot and
do whatever I am told no matter what our ‘republic’ does. Am I supposed
to blindly follow while the government leads us to hell and back? The answer
is yes. That is exactly what I am supposed to do.

I think this argument started way before Bush dear Amy. The world didn't begin with him, contrary to what you've been taught. ;)

i have never, ever stood up and pledged allegiance to our flag in my life, except for a few times when i was forced to. i like that you did this rant, it really makes stuff more noticable when someone else brings it out in to the open like this.
