I voted option 1. I love the national anthem. I think it's very moving. At the time it was penned the banner represented the fight against oppressive government, and was not a symbol of it. That's how I interpret it.

I will NOT, however, pledge allegiance to a [censored] piece of cloth. I can't even understand how a patriotic statist can buy into that. WTF? It's ridiculous.

It's weird to remember how very important I used to think it was as a kid. To have even questioned 'my duty' to do this was unthinkable. It seems the majority of adults feel this way still today. Wath % of adults would you estimate feel this way?
