Musing over my morning coffee
Since we changed the Pledge of Allegience in 1954 to include the words "under God" to show all those godless commies what pious folks we were, I had a sort of epiphanous idea whilst sipping my morning cuppa.

I propose we change the pledge yet again, this time substituting the words "under God" with "under LAW"

The right wingers CERTAINLY wouldn't want to be protrayed as against law & order would they?
It would also help to remind all that we are a nation of laws, not men (or even gods)


Whaddiya think?

1. They would prefer "One Nation, Under God's Law"
Don't give 'em any ideas!

3. Considering who's making the laws these days...

I'd rather not. Liberty and justice are the goals, here, "the law" is just supposed to be a means to get there (but it rarely works out that way in practice).
