Pledge of Allegiance Changed...

[Jeremiah Johnson]

My question is... why does Texas and the other, unmentioned, states have their own pledge? I see it as a waste of 30 seconds... we don't need to say we love our country everyday. What about those that hate this country? Or disagree with its policies. Is it treason to not say the pledge based on those grounds?

I never recited it because I thought it was pointless, and besides, they only had us saying it until the 6th grade or so... I spent my time thinking about/doing the homework that was assigned the night before or going over problems in my head during this time. I'm not one to waste time reaffirming something.

I'm at a middle road on religious beliefs. I like to think there is a God (god) but I put more weight in science. I have to see it to believe it (wholly), to overstate a beaten horse cliche.
