An Arkansas 10-year-old says he won't pledge to the flag until there really is as the pledge says, "liberty and justice for all" , that is, until gays and lesbians have equal rights.

"I eventually, very solemnly, with a little bit of malice in my voice, said, ma'am, with all due respect, you can go jump of a bridge."

  • Legendary! And how ironic that a 10 year old boy should be more cogent, discerning and emancipated in the articulation of his perspective than the majority of the Republican party. I guess there's hope for the next generation, at least...

  • The Bible says, "Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength". When I was young, believing in America in the literal way it was represented in school, I didn't know that anyone had less freedom or opportunity than me.

    Then I read how blacks were denied so many rights we take for granted. It was devastating for me to realize what was parroted in school was not true for everybody. My parents never said a word to me; this was my own realization.

    The boy is right on.
