Just a comment about the pledge. Like most things "nationalistic," they
are intended to be unreflective "mouthing of meaningless words." The
words are meaningless because people say the same things over and over
all their lives without challenge. It's a PLEDGE. What is the flag
after all? A symbol which is intended to unite people can have very
broad potential for interpretations. The most powerful symbols are
those accepted without reflection.
