People are still going to take a lot of crap, whatever happens with the pledge. That's why this whole thing is so stupid.
We have this decades-long struggle going on in San Diego over the cross on top of Mount Soledad. The cross was erected in the 1950's as a memorial to the veterans of the Korean War. A local atheist sued the city, which owns the land, to remove the cross, and the case has been in court forever. Recently, a judge ruled that the cross was a violation and had to come down. The citizens of San Diego responded by voting overwhelmingly in a referendum to transfer the land to the federal government as a national monument. The same judge has blocked the transfer of the land, and the case is still pending. We've spent millions and millions of dollars legislating this issue. That is nuts. > Not to put to fine a point on it, but have you ever lived somewhere > were > if you weren't a Good Christian (tm) you were the devil?
