The Allegiance

And I am not sure if I blah blogged about that pledge of allegiance thing before because I have been blogging on this blog for quite a while now and this blog wants to confuse me sometimes. And that "I pledge allegiance to the flag, of the United States of America. For which it stands, one nation, under God with liberty, and justice for all...". Hey bloggers, what the heck does that phrase mean. Does wikipedia have an entry for that word allegience. As I remember having to put my hand over my right shoulder or someting like that and having to say this speech every single day throughout school in America with a whole class of people as if it were a scene right out of Geroge Orwells nineteen eighty four book. And then there is that ROTC military militia mal militant dress in green, wear the same uniform stand straight in a line and wear a gun class thing that one is and was required or maybe not required to take in high school institutions insituting and programing the minds of one and training one with guns as a child to become violent. What the heck is that all about. And what does ROTC mean anyway. And this allegience thing seems to reach far and with its outreach to whole groups and populations of people and minds that are sort of told to worship the state, whoever and whatever that state may be. And what if one does not raise their right hand in honor of this system for some reason or another. What would George Orwell have to say about this nationalism or ism. And who or what is a conscientious objector who is objecting to what. And who is that Big Brother who is watching you and for what reason. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?
