RE: Alanis takes U.S. cit

As an American I have no trouble pledging allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. But I am offended whe we force other countries to do the same! And just because we pledge allegiance to the flag does not mean we support Bush or his administration. And, as a Buddhist, I wish we would leave out that "Under God" part".

Do they still make people place their hands on the Bible and swear the Oath? I always thought that it meant nothing unless the person taking the Oath was a practising Christian,i.e. I could lie like a bugger under oath

When does the US force other countries to recite the Pledge of Allegiance?

We don't. Perhaps he means requiring new immigrants who become US Citizens to say it. As part of the ceremony when they become a US Citizen they say the "Pledge off Allegience". He probably objects to that.

I remember in high school some people didn't stand up because they were doing homework and stuff. I always stood and said it but nobody dogged them when they were trying to finish those last few math problems before the bell rang.. It was in the 80's that a school got miffed when a girl refused to stand and the Supreme Court sided with her.
