...i will not willingly pledge blind allegiance to some nation state which
has drifted miles from the notions of its founding fathers which were a far
sight wiser than the right-wing,
"it's-ok-to-shove-this-and-that-down-your-throat-in-spite-of-it-being-unconstitutional-as-long-as-it-coincides-with-my(your
politician)-value-systems" monkeys we have in place today. i typically can
only honestly and goodheartedly "pledge allegiance" to a group or
organization that either reflects my interests/values, embraces the notion
of negative freedom, or aspires to not estrange any particular value system
which at least doesnt massively compromise the elementary golden rule. i
can currently pledge some sort of allegiance to the notions on which this
nation was founded, but the current state is a far far cry from several of
the key points which made this nations creation such an advancement in
social development. at this point i'd sooner pledge allegiance to my
beloved Brasil.

Why pledge allegiance to piece of cloth?
I pledge allegiance to the United States of America. I promise to uphold the
laws set forth by the founders of our democracy. I swear that I will stand
up for what is right and let justice fight the wrong. I will remember why
our nation's flag is an American flag. I will live the American Way with
Liberty and hope that Justice prevails.
