I've been studying history, with an emphasis on American history, all my life (a very long life now) and learned an interesting lesson. The worst of intentions, like the best of intentions, often go astray. The story of the Pledge of Allegiance told at this link is factually accurate. Now, some may use it to disparage the Pledge, but I wouldn't. How 'bout you?
