about "discrimination".
I do this everytime the Pledge of Allegience comes about when I'm helping the club at some scout pack demo. I recite the original Pledge or stay silent, not the violation of Separation of Church and State modification that got added the year I was born (1954, I'm an old fart and proud of it!). You know, the part that goes "...one nation under (OUR!) god..." That was something the author, who was a Baptist preacher, saw fit to omit. Given the cliche view of baptists as myopics, I think there's a major clue here. I wonder what "them thar damned liberals" rant Mr Word of Reason would blare at us over the fact that the fellow was also a socialist? McCarthy-ites are, sadly, never at a loss for words. And since I've mentioned it, here's the original Pledge: "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"
