[QUOTE="Rich Stern, post: 547285, member: 52580"] Tom, no offense, but that's not a very enlightened answer. We have many problems in our society. We'll certainly never correct them if we maintain the attitude that oaths are meaningless, testimony doesn't have to be the truth, and making a pledge is just something you do to pass the time. Kids are highly influenced by group belief and action. Ever seen or heard of (or been) a good kid who does something uncharacteristically stupid, and the only explanation offered was "because everyone else was doing it?" There's a small neighborhood in Connecticut, where a group of people just lost their homes because the local government decided those citizens' private property would be better as hotels and retail stores. Does that worry you? After all, it's only one neighborhood, right? In a society such as ours, liberty is often removed slowly, almost invisibly, until people wake up one day and realize that it's mostly gone. Big difference between the teacher saying "God bless you" and having the whole class stop what they are doing, stand up, and collectively say, "God bless you," at the direction of the teacher.
