When reciting the pledge, which I do, I remain silent at the word "indivisible". I am not currently advocating dividing the nation, but I firmly believe in a government by the consent of the governed as declared in the Declaration of Independence. Government imposed on a people by the point of a bayonet is a despotic dictatorship, not a free representative republic. Words mean things.

"...why, land is the only thing in the world worth working for, worth fighting for, worth dying for,... because it is the only thing that lasts."
