if we get rid of the holidays, then all schools, goverment workers and politicians should have to work through those now former religious holidays.
That works for me. I only get paid for billable hours, and I only pay others when they have billable hours. If I do not work, I do not get paid. If they do not work, they do not get paid. The day is irrelevant. If someone wants to work on weekends or holidays, they get paid for the billable hours they worked. If they do not want to work on a given day, they do not get paid. That seems pretty simple and straight forward to me.
I realize you were quite upset in that first post above and maybe after a few deep breaths you'll realize YOU stated it was about children....but the OP doesn't.
No deep breaths necessary.
When I said that it was about children, I meant MY BLOOMIN' POST.
Go back to sleep.
I like the covservative ideas of keeping the pledge as original as possibly. For this very reason, I think we should remove the term god to return the pledge to how it was intended to. Those darn progressive adding god in there were retarded.
Eisenhower was a progressive? I had to learn the pledge before Under GOD was in there and over 50 years later still trip over it. If you need a "Pledge" to make you do the right thing then you have other problems
Waiting on help from a non-existent, mythological being is folly.
May I ask if, perchance, you associate yourself with the Left?
The party of acceptance, non-judgement, peacemaking, nondiscriminatory practices, nonprejudice?

Just a hunch.
I associate myself with the Left and I believe in God...
and for me it's much more than just agreeing with some lofty idea of an unknown "Higher Power".
