Which, btw, segues into the "under God" issue. I rather detested the dirtbag attention grabber who used their kid as a pawn that eventually lead to the issue appearing in courts in the most recent volley. However, once in the courts, I am absolutely an unwaveringly of the opinion that the phrase should be removed. I'm not going to make a stink about it, I'm not going to deman restitution and cry religious subjugation over it being there. But if the issue is raised and it gets to the point of a Constitutional decision, I cannot fathom any rational argument that doesn't have it constituting violation of establishment.
