Terry, "Your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
It's gotten overcrowded from
Your dirty little wars.
Jesus don't like killin',
Doesn't matter what you do it for,
So your flag decal won't get you into Heaven any more."

That isn't exactly what I believe. I think Jesus would agree with some killing, though he would consider it a shame that we had to do it. I just remember when Abbie Hoffman could only be shown on tv from the neck up because he had on a flag shirt and the right wingers considered it descecration. Then, super patriots Roy Rogers and Dale Evans appeared wearing exactly the same shirt, except a bit better quality than Abbie's. And last night at the track, I saw a dozen of them.

Decals don't bother me as it is free expression. I dislike burning the flag, but it is also free expression unless it starts a forest fire. I guess my emphasis is on free expression and I don't think the Pledge is all that free if teachers have to do it and little kids are the decision makers.
