[IMC-Editorial] Letter on the Pledge of Allegiance

[anarch3m]

I hope ARI is listening.  I want to ask about before these words were (somewhat recently in the overall sceme) added to the pledge?  And what about separation and the many who are offended by the words in a document often forced (by social means) upon folk?

And I have had no reply about your continued spam.  After I was nice enough to explain this is NOT A SUBMISSIONS for you or for anyone.

But it seems you don't do dialogue at ARI
