There is a version of your quote...
That RHYMES.
To: Paradox
I’ve never been comfortable with the Pledge, it reminds me of kids being brainwashed for Mother Russia or the Fatherland. What a terrible comparison. Truth is not relative.

What a terrible comparison. Truth is not relativeI said it reminded me of it, and that is the truth. I don't really care for it, and I also don't care for the fact that they added "Under God" to it back in the 50's. They should have left it as is, call me a purist. For that matter, someone tell me, which of the founders was it who wrote it? Oh, I see.
Like I said, I won't actively campaign against it, but I wont pretend that it really has some deep historical relevance. We did fine without it for over 100 years...

I never had to recite the Star Spangled Banner in school each morning.
