Under God

Well. The world is going to come to an end now, isn't it. This will be the fall of Western Civilization. Cats and dogs living together. Whatever.

Of course, I'm talking about the recent court decision declaring the Pledge of Allegiance unConstitutional. If I listened to Rush Limbaugh I'm sure he's ranting and raving his way to an early grave over this one. Personally, if someone wants to make every other word out of their mouth "God", I could care less. But it doesn't stop there. Oh no. The same folks who will be ranting and raving about yesterday's decision are the same folks who want Wiccans forbidden from wearing their pentacles or from being openly Wiccan in the military. These are some of the same folks who want to FORCE all children to submit to reciting the Pledge, under penalty of suspension. If you want to say the Pledge until your voice cracks, good for you, but if you think you have some right to force my child to do so, then you are practicing a form of fascist control that reveals a basic fundamental disagreement with individual rights. I can't have any sympathy for folks who wish to use GOVERNMENT schools to discriminate against one religious group while simultaneously pushing for GOVERNMENT laws to force the Pledge down the throats of other people's children. That is completely reprehensible. Don't come to me looking for sympathy brother, I'm fresh out.
