Some time ago, two years or so, I wrote a column for the Huntington University paper (called The Huntingtonian) that picked up a little interest. Turns out my thoughts on the US Pledge of Allegiance are not too common, and stirred up some discussion.
But I love that, don’t I?
So for this weekend (Monday, technically), I thought I would step back to this post and read it, video blog style, and share it here. More thoughts to follow afterward.
As I said in the video, I can’t say my opinion has changed very much. Politicians don’t interest me all that much anymore, as I see them fighting all of the wrong things. In the end, it’s all a performance.
I’m not a patriotic person. And that doesn’t mean, by the way, I’m not thankful to be living here. I just don’t think of it as something I’m proud of. I’m here, not by my own doing, but by happenstance. And I won’t let something like patriotism get in the way of solid criticism.

Damn Commie.
Seriously, though, I’m on the same wavelength.
Wow…. Your Gravatar integration is nothing short of spectacular.
Hey, thanks. I guess I feel like those with high quality photos should be rewarded.
And, those who don’t, kind of punished. I guess that’s how it works.
Thanks for reading, and commenting!
