Pledge of Allegiance: So Many Issues

Well, I've decided to write about the pledge of allegiance. Each day in school we say that pledge at the start of school. Most of us stand up, place our hands on our hearts, face the flag, and recite. Notice I said MOST not ALL. Sad, isn't it? I continuously see my classmates talking, not paying attention, sitting down, etc.. At least show some respect people.

Another issue has to be the controversy about the phrase "under god". To me, this is completely absurd. I understand that some people may not believe in one god or any god at all, but please, do not try to get rid of or change a pledge that has meaning connected to the founding of this country. If you don't believe in it, just don't recite it but at least show some respect.

So many things on my mind...

Wow. Life's full of so many things to write about I can't wait to start. Over the next few weeks, I'll be writing a multitude of different articles on topics that have piqued attention.

Thanks for reading guys.
