Nope. I'm holding to indivisible. Any division is purely superficial. I think it's important to emphasize that we're all humans, regardless of nationality, and that ideals such as due process and basic humane treatment should hold whether we can justify it by international law or not.

I can dig that.

NA brings up an interesting point and it makes me wonder - can you pledge your affinity? It's an interesting word pairing.

Very interesting. Where are our semantics scholars?

I've come to the realization that the Pledge - in any form - means absolutely nothing to me. I think the only thing I have "pledged" are my marriage vows - and even then wwe didn't use that particular vernacular.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of "pledge" either, but this of course using it was kinda necessary for the dramatic effect and all. Though I kinda like the juxtiposition of the solidity of "pledge" with the fluidity of "affinity".
