re. love it or leave it, trying to remove the Pledge, et al
Don't forget, my American friends, that the ability/right to question your respective authority's, their acts and decisions, or lack thereof, is what makes you American. You were founded by the search for true personal freedom's, among other things. To deny that right to some of your CITIZENS, whether you agree with them or not, is to deny what you stand for. Let them have their say, however stupid, and then let democracy take it's course.
*EDIT* to all the good people & friends on the Gulf coast, please take care.
