Hmm..I think this thread shows evidence of the epidemic in America. We are constantly being told how good we have it, how good it is compared to anywhere else. Well do not tell me how good we HAVE it, I want to think about how good it COULD BE/SHOULD BE. We really lose sight of that... although MUCH progress has been made, there is still much progress TO BE made, and I am one of the one's who will not pledge anything to a country that tries to stifle that progress at every turn. I do acknowledge that IN COMPARISON, we do have it better than most. That is true enough. But in my eyes, what we do have is not good enough. And that is largely due to the severe oppression that the United States Government levels at "minorities" at every turn. So I will not recite the pledge of allegiance until I feel that the words actually ring true, and are not just some naive pipe dream.
