To outsiders it seems like it is the one thing that binds Americans together, so strongly.

Just think of how many people the pledge would unite if it didn't contain "Under God", a pledge that actually represents what the country is about and could describe every single citizen of the nation. A pledge like that would have no negatives.

Oh, and to the "insiders", specifically the school children reciting it every single morning, the pledge doesn't mean anything more than the opening bell does. I'm saddened by that, but its the truth.
