I would drop the pledge of allegience and replace it with....
Either nothing or some sort of pledge to themselves. Every person in the US is a nation onto themselves. The most important person in the world is you, especially in the empathy-free, capitalistic paradise like the US.
The current pledge gives a piece of cloth great signifigence. If the government of the US becomes usurped by corporations, the pledge makes easily indoctrinated people (public school students) think these flag draped thieves are a holy 'under god' entity worthy of respect and deference.

Re: I would drop the pledge of allegience and replace it with....
Do they still do the pledge of allegience in schools? all public? all or some private too? Only certain grades like elementary?
I didn't even realize it until my late 30's but that was some massive indoctrination into nationalism of the USA, repreat it 2000 times with a roomful of others and you become so bound to it psychologically it is incredible.

Re: I would drop the pledge of allegience and replace it with....
America had no pledge of allegiance for most of it's history. People that do it in the name of tradition are braindead. Also, I resent that it has spread into nongovernmental institutions. When I go to Judo class, I have to bow to the flag.
