I miss the days when the pledge was:

Quote:
I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the republic for which he stands
one nation, under God, invisible and with liberty and juice for all.

Mad Men 1892, baby. Yesterday's marketing is today's dogma. Other successful vintage ad campaigns include the diamonds as the only true symbol of love and the inextricable link between freedom and automobile ownership.

Oh, sure, you can miss any of the versions you like. I just want to point out that it's little more than a marketing slogan from 120 years ago.

I didn't know Socialists were capable of "marketing".
