A good comment on a subject I really couldn't care less about

Ezra at Pandagon:

Wow. I mean, just wow. I don't even know what to say, but, really, wow. "One nation, under God" is just a recognition that people who founded the country believed in some sort of higher being? Wouldn't that then read "One nation, by peole who believed in God"? But no. Under God. As a historical marker. A link to a religious history. Kind of like how we have "One nation, at war" to show how we've fought wars throughout history. Except we don't. Maybe soon we'll have "One nation, over Negroes" just to remind children that slavery was bad. Or "One nation, extra cheese" cause we're fat. How about "One nation, under Republicans, Democrats, Tories and Whigs" since different parties have ruled? Maybe "One nation, under white people" because our founding fathers we're undeniably light skinned.

I mean wow, guys. Really. Wow.

Well guy, that's what you get for expecting reason under the current circumstances.
