To comment on the pledge of allegiance issue that is... I'm afraid I have to strongly disagree with you moppie...

Altough I do still believe its not acted upon to its fullest potential, i.e the speration of religion from government.
The Constituition clearly states that Goverment and religion should always be kept seperate.

Perhaps if you would actually READ the constitution you would see that it does not say anything about the seperation of church and state, that phrase only appeared in some letters written by thomas jefferson and even then it was in reference to preventing the founding truths of this country from being removed. The constitution does state that the government shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. Translation: The U.S. would not create, by law, a "national church" such as the one they had just escaped in England, which was the required church of all the english. If you really want to get technical, none of our founding documents say anything about Judeo-Christianity, they simply mention "God" or "the Creator", and that could be whoever you believe in. Furthermore, this country WAS founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs and if you don't like(for those who don't live here) no one cares, or(for those who do live here) move to China where you can't do anything religious or you get killed.
Thats my rant, thank you and good night.
