Pledge of Allegiance

as i awoke - groggily from my sleep this morn

i was thinking of what the bushites version of this pledge - would be - smile

so i did some research on the net

to get the exact words


but what i found was um, somewhat disturbing

i want you-all to go to this link

and about half way down there's a picture

of school children reciting the pledge

using the Bellamy Salute

which was a modification of the Roman Salute

(of which i could digress about the Roman state we have been creating

but i won't)


but that's not the worst of it

this little diddy was created to sell flags

and from the lips of it's author:

"Bellamy said that the purpose of the pledge was to teach obedience to the state as a virtue"

so i've decided

not to make a funny and change this pledge to what baby bush thinks

as it pretty much does exactly what baby bush and compadres want it to do...

hell, even Texas has it's own pledge to the flag


i want to change it for 'us'

I pledge my allegiance to the Peaceful citizens of Earth, and to The World for which it stands, one Planet under our Earth Goddess and Father Moon, indivisible, with most importantly ~ liberty and justice for all.

now who wants to design our flag?

and now for something completely different : creative visualization
