Today I had to try and explain to my children why there was such a hoopla over a court of appeals decision. I tried to explain that the word God upset some people, so it couldn’t be used in the Pledge of Allegiance. Sometimes children are brilliant. I have to admit, I am pretty stumped. So, will God be bleeped on network television as is every other word on the Osbournes? Will our money change to remove ‘In God We Trust’? Will ‘Oh God’ starring George Burns and John Denver be re-rated to XXX?
Maybe the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals should spend a little time feeding the hungry, housing the homeless and finding quality healthcare for those who need it instead of trying to re-word the Pledge of Allegiance. By the time they get done with it, it will be “I promise to hang around and try and be nice.”
