Federal judge declares Pledge unconstitutional

This is ubsurd. WHO THE HELL CARES!!! It has been this way since 1812 and it should stay that way. Do non-believers really think the words "Under God" are going to influnce their children to suddenly start believing God? This is absolutely rediculous. You already don't have to stand up and recite the pledge. What's next, flag burning in school is required so all the Anarachists don't feel left out?

Erm...I'm not sure but Red Harvest seems to point out that "under God" came much, much later as in the Cold War.

I, of course, am uninformed. And still wishing some would post more information on the pledge's history.

BTW, thanks for the contribution of another point of view on pg 2, Gawain.

Though I do agree it's a nonissue.

I stand corrected. I should have looked it up. It was written in 1892 and the words "under god" added in 1954

Sorry about that, but my view still stands.
