The Pledge doesn't include the words "BUY GENERAL MOTORS AUTOMOBILES!" either. Does that mean it or the US is against GM? Just because something isn't mentioned in some text doesn't mean you're against it. And if the US gov't is to align itself with a god, which one shall it be? There certainly are a variety on the planet now to pick from, and more available through history. Look, I think the pledge decision was a mistake. Not because it was wrong - it wasn't - but because it has set off an unnecessary cultural war. Somrtimes the very best thing these courts can do is keep their mouths shut. ALSO: That decision does not ban reciting the pledge or including the words "under God" in private proceedings. The court does not have that power. It bans it only in schools and gov't-sponsored ceremonies.
