"Under God" was added to the pledge in 1957 by an act of Congress. It was put in near the height of the Cold War while we were battling the atheist communist alliance. That means for most of it's life, the pledge had no reference to God. John www.bigbox.com Archives: http://www.mail-archive.

Keeping the "Under god" reference has two problems: 1: Since it's taught in schools, that means the government is endorsing religion. 2: It implies that our nation is somehow endorsed by god. #1 is unfair to children being raised as atheists, and #2 leads to "holy wars". Honestly, I never had

Ran was incredible! If you haven't seen it, wait a few months as a new DVD is in the works. I was unimpressed with Gladiator...nice fight sequences, but the story dragged and was too predictable. Platoon, Saving Private Ryan, Patton and Glory are my favorite war films...oh yes, and Dr. Strangel

Sounds like Planetfall (http://infocom.elsewhere.org/scheyen/planetfall.html), one of the old Infocom games. I played most all their games, starting at MIT in 1977 playing Zork on the old PDP-11 systems in the AI labs. If you have a sudden need to play the game (or any of the other old Infocom
