I don't pledge allegiance.

Every morning we are told to pledge allegiance to a country under god.  Children say it, it sinks into their head that America is the best and that god is watching over us and will help us succeed.  Teaching us to say the pledge  is like preaching religion in school.  It is wrong.  How would you feel if before we could eat in the cafeteria we would all say a prayer of grace.  Of course no one would double think it because we have been taught to do this since we were young. It almost seems like a form a brainwash.  And and easy one to do.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United states of America,

and to all the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God,

 indivisible with liberty and justice for all." 

Liberty and justice is severed to all. Is that really true? 

Paul R. Allen ,a rich white man who was the CEO of Alexandria, Va., one of the nation's largest privately held mortgage lenders was given a 40- month sentence after stealing $3 billion dollars from clients. Meanwhile in Shreveport, Louisiana a homeless black man robbed a bank for $100 dollars to get food.  The next day this homeless man, Roy Brown, returned the money because he was ashamed of himself.  Roy was given a 15-year sentence. Does that seem fair to you?

Under god. A rough 90% of Americans believe in god. http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html says that at 7:00 pm on December 12, 2011 312,725,492 people live in the United States. That means 31,272,549 people don't believe in god.  Does that mean those people don't matter? 10% of a big number is still a big number.

The pledge should go...

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United Corporations of America,

and to the republic for which is sleeps, one nation under fear,

divisible, with poverty and injustice for all."
