Yes...I find it sort of silly that our congress would _add_ a religious reference in there at all. (I've been wondering what the average IQ is for congress a lot lately) This might cause people to *gasp* call in to questions other references of god.
From the Democrat & Chronicle:
"Other critics of the decision were flabbergasted and warned that it calls into question the use of "In God We Trust" on the nation's currency, the public singing of patriotic songs like "God Bless America," even the use of the phrase "So help me God" when judges are sworn into office."
Gee, I've been questioning these references for many years. The "under God" line is one reason why I stopped repeating the Pledge a long time ago.
And yes, stupid people are scarry. Stupid people w/ power are even more scary. It's like the whole "region" thing on DVDs. If I move from New York to California, I need two different players for the DVD's bought in two different regions, or I need to buy all my DVDs over again. And they think people pirate stuff just because they want to steal their property when part of it is that people don't wanna deal w/ stupid shit like that. Again, bad people, NO Biscut!
