If not the link is: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20020626/ap_on_re_us/pledge_of_allegiance

I’ve decided to weigh in with my comments on this issue and let others decided whether they wish to respond or not.

To allow people to skip the rest of this.

blackpaladin did a great job of summarizing the current Google Craze:
Do a Google search on ‘ is’ and see what you come up with… 

So, partially, because I’d already done one for myself, and extended it….
partially because I was punchy from being a little sun sick from vacation…
partially because I’m a smart ass who tends not to leave a dead horse alone even after I’ve beaten it:

Last note

Will attempt to take excerpts from the 24 pages of legal paper that I hand wrote on from 3pm to 9pm Monday as I went thru all different states. They will be editted and (as always) entered as I feel I have time or inclination to do so.

Sleep now. Work tomorrow.
