"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God. Indivisible. With liberty and justice for all."
Yeah, right. If there was truly liberty and justice for all, gay people wouldn't be having such struggles to get married to each other. And our squabbling politicians have sure redefined the term indivisible.
At best we are pledging to the ideals of the country, not the actual realism of America. When I was a kid, I'd just go through the motions like everyone else in class. Since this was during and after the Watergate scandal, even the teachers could barely emote their way through it.
So what do you think? Do you believe that these concepts are at least obtainable? Or are they just overreaching ideals that we try to foster into our school children?
