Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

"Indivisible" is someone spelling "Invisible" wrong

Wish your articles still had substance.

The pledge is unEmerikan and I refudiate your socialist propaganda. lol

stop trolling you trolls! custer, good article. +1

Stop trolling us Blazingstar.

I kind of like the original version, before the religious wackos messed up the cadence in the 1950s:

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS--
ONE NATION, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

I have always liked the West Point motto: Duty, Honor, Country

Viva la eIsrael!

role playing much?

hmm... role playing.. in a game where players use names not their own to pretend to run companies and run for political office and have countries and wars... now why ever would roleplaying enter into such a scenario? -|- the real questions of the day are, why would the same people continue to troll a writer's work even when he offers fluff of no serious consequence, and how can they manage to still argue whether or not the sky is blue and find fault in publishing the Pledge of Allegiance (other than the reasonable argument of whether or not the word "God" should be included). -|- my question to America stands: What kind of game do you play, what kind of players do you like to align yourself with?

I vaguely remember a lecture along these lines and with about as much weight, consequence and fau😜hilosophical solipsism from Elementary School... Great Article! +1!

Many people do not know that, prior to the Nazi taking control in Germany, as you recited the pledge and said, 'I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG....' You extended your arm, palm up toward the flag. With the advent of the Nazi salute, which was arm extend, palm down, fingers up, the arm extending was dropped like a hot rock

**LOL** serious? I know our RL American history is not squeaky clean and there are some "odd facts known by few" that'll just set a patriot on their heels, but I had never heard this one. "Palm up" reminds me of church, where the more faithful in the front rows raise their arms, hands palms up, in a gesture of devotion. Of course we all know that the Nazi Swastika is a variation on a very old mystical symbol found on both this and the European continents, that symbol now abandoned due to the bad rep it got.

The thing is, this has nothing to do with eRepublik, as this 'pledge' clearly refers to the RL USA.

nice speed reading, Garven. perhaps you missed this part-- it starts off in bold text: Okay, so this is some RL stuff. What does it mean to you?
How much of that do you bring with you to the game? What kind of game do you play, what kind of players do you like to align yourself with? What kind of country do you want to "live" in and play for? What kind of leaders do you want, and what kind of leadership do you expect of them?

mm mind you the United States has About 315 million people now...perhaps its more like 311 or 312, but...

Strange but true...I have a picture of my father and his brothers in a one room school house with their arms extended toward the flag...my father said that stopped around 1935 or 36 when Hitler began to rise...my father and 5 brothers went to war and only my father and one brother survived...
