[Vision2020] the pledge

[DonaldH675 at aol.com]

Donovan,
I did not claim that anyone made the recommendation to quit saying the  
pledge because at the time I posted I had no idea who had made the suggestion.  It 
was my own idea that saying the pledge was and is a waste of time. And might  
I add that at no time did I say anything about anyone's right to say the 
pledge  privately whenever they so chose. Saying the pledge is like saying a public 
 prayer; it is an effort by believers to force nonbelievers (whatever the 
belief  might be; religious,patriotic, political and so on) to comply with the 
believers  version of reality, no matter how screwy and non-rational that belief 
might  be.
