Although I do agree with both religious and political views on the matter. What God said about obeying the rules of the land, this is very true, but to the best of my memory of our American history I don't think that it had very ben made a law that every American "must" pledge their allegiance. All persons who reside on American soil has the responsability to honor the land and it's people, but are not required to participate in all of the triditional beliefs. If the qovernment every made it a law then their would be a lot of groups that would be in a heep of trouble, those groups would also include senior adults that have seen everything that this country has gone through over these many years. I believe if every american was truly honest with themselves, then at one point or another in their lives they may have to admit that at some point in their existance they were shamed be something that has taken place in this country. We may be the best county in the word, but we are far from being perfect. We all know that the only perfection in any form of existance is unseen to the human eye.

The children of today are of their own mind, but as long as we as a society lay the ground work and make sure that they understand what the pledge stand for and show then that what it means to be here in America compared to other countries then they will be there for their country. It is up to us to give them reason to want to say the pledge just like our teachers, family and government had done for us.

We have obviously failed to teach these children the way we were taught. At one time it was second nature to have prayer before any class took place. That was lost so why wouldn't the pledge be lost.

Don't get me wrong I don't agree with the way things are going but to look at the big picture this has been in the making for many years and if we don't put things back into GOD'S hand we are in for more then just a child not wanting to resight a pledge.
