Politics is religion to those who take it seriously. You even have those who are fanatical about it and those who are not so enthusiastic. The same goes for a lot of sports. Religion has always been about politics;

Don't help it Cliffy, Politics are NEVER to touch religion. Especially the Catholic church.

Ahh who cares.. There are so many people sueing over the Pledge of Allegiance in the U.S. being unconstitutional.. Who do they think they are anyway? A theocracy form of government?

Reaction was quick and largely negative to a federal appeals court decision Wednesday declaring that reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools is unconstitutional. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in California ruled that saying the Pledge is unconstitutional because the "under God" portion added by Congress in 1954 improperly endorses religion. The 2-1 ruling stunned politicians and outraged religious groups. "This decision is directly contrary to two centuries of American tradition," Attorney General John Ashcroft said. "The Justice Department believes in the right of Americans to pledge allegiance to their flag and is evaluating the appropriate response."

In a country as diverse as the US (and Canada) with all the various religions and ethnic groups, pledging "under god" is ludicrous. The term God has a Judeo/Christian connotation. To be inclusive as your (our) population, you would have to include all the gods of just about every religion on the planet.

If you can braid your hair and go years without undoing it and washing it, then I guess you deserve your joint to protect you from the world you have growing in there. May Bob Marley rest in peace.

Don't have enough hair left to braid.
The only thing I ever pray for is that the tax man forgets I exist. So far no luck. Maybe white peoples god is not the one true god?
