Back when I was a kid (El Paso, Texas, in the 60s and 70s), we said the pledge every morning but no one was required to participate. Most kids did but certain religious groups (I'm thinking Jehovah's Witnesses, but I may be wrong) refused to pledge allegiance to anyone or anything other than God.
So A) not a new thing and B) not a secular thing.
Not that facts are going to change some people's minds.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
If it's the article I'm thinking of, he might read down to the part where the author starts talking about Fappy the Masturbating Dolphin.
How did you ever know?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
(I'm thinking Jehovah's Witnesses, but I may be wrong)
Yeah, our Jehovah's Witness, among other people, did not say the Pledge, which I think we had in school until 6th grade? I forget.

Yes, the girls I was thinking of in High School were Jehovah's Witnesses. It was probably the first time I knew someone not Catholic! My public HS was so Catholic they had the church announcements along with the other stuff.
Internet still has me giddy today. I know it is still as dire as ever, but that little wave of joy and hopefulness is really helping.

An actual Nazi getting punched in the face is the cherry on top of the womens' marches.

Thrive to spite them
I'm fully behind actual Nazi's being punched in the face.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Thank you for the birthday wishes. You all are so good at making a person feel loved.

The status is NOT quo.
Happiest of birthdays, Windy!
