Agree.

Also I also find it odd the Pledge of Allegiance is conducted at the start of some club meetings here in the Villages. If the club's focus is centered around the country in some way, it makes sense. If I am going to a social group event, it seems out of place to have to have to 'commit my loyalty to the country flag'. One doesn't do that when they walk into a bar.

Let the arrogance fly.
