The origional pledge didn't have "under God" and it was added in the 1940's I believe! So I guess you don't want what was the real pledge to be used?

I think it is a bit too nit-picky to stop drinking it because they were lazy in designing a patriotic can, but the phrase in question...emphasizing our unity (every single word is meant to do so) is on nation, under God, indivisible." All three. It does not matter what the original Pledge said....we are using the one from today. BTW, I know that Bellamy was a socialist guy. I also know some interesting things about how they did the pledge....kind of like the heil hitler thing. But, none of this matters when we are looking at the pledge of today. I personally do not agree with the 'indivisible" part of the Pledge, as we are divided all the time. But, it is part of the Pledge and should be included in showing our unity, just as "under God" should.
