HUMOR: Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional!

Ah, being forced to stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance... I still
remember that. In the early days I was young enough to have no personal
objection to the "God" part as yet. Still, it was clear enough that the
Pledge contained a gaping logical flaw.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. One
nation under God, indivisible, with freedom and justice for all EXCEPT THE
CHILDREN."
