Oh my gosh... thank you! Finally, I haven't exactly been searching for it, but there seems to be no one in my general area that agrees that that phrase is just plain wrong in the Pledge of Allegiance. I don't go so far as to walk out of the room during the pledge but I at least make sure that I leave out 'under god' when we are (pretty much) forced to do it before school every day.

Dare I ask where you are? I'm in Texas and I don't stand for the Pledge.

And I didn't do it when I was at the Brickyard 400 in Indianapolis. Nobody said anything to me.

TXatheist continues to be so far beyond reality it shocks me.. This guy (in all seriousness) has lost his mind..

Get a life man.. nobody takes you serious.

[TXatheist]

Care to tell me why people keep watching my videos? Or what part of reality I'm behind?

If these kids are sincere about really making a change, there are elected officials to whom they can correspond with. Since their parents probably elected these officials (or possibly contributed to their campaigns, since Boulder is quite a wealthy city) their parents can argue on their behalf until they reach 18. It is not like they do not have a voice, if they were united, they could get their parents to hire a lawyer to take this issue up the "chain" in the court system.

Do you not think I regularly write to John Carter, John Cornyn, Kay Hutchison and other Texas representatives? All the time and I get letters that say thanks but we are going to do what we want to do. Seriously that's the wording summarized. A voice is useless unless your politician thinks you are in the majority and he may lose the next election. I suggest you look up David Wallace Croft blog and see what happens when lawyers are hired. It takes years for resolution.

The problem is we're facist and we don't admit it ; )

Thats nice! i'm actually not an american citizen and i've been told to stand up or take my hat off during it which is completely ridiculous! i think the problem in america is the fact that people wrap themselves up in the flag!

I'm in Wisconsin... but when I say no one "in my general area," I mean the people in my stuffy conservative private school. People don't seem to have a big problem with my not saying it, but I know it bothers them when I bring it up in conversation. Most of the kids in my grade disagree on me with things like this because their parents do... it's actually sad more than anything.
