From Gary Smith:
There is a poll about whether the phrase "under God" belongs in the Pledge of Allegiance. Put in your two cents here. Scroll down - it's on the right-hand side.

gods - NO!
i remember when they put it in - i always skipped that part in school. did you know that the pepsi corp has come out with a patriotic can? it's terrific - wait, i'll tell you. it has pics of the flag, the empire state bldg., and the pledge of allegiance - with NO 'under gd' in it. boy, are people complaining - how dare they ? Hah! i'm delighted (and a proud pepsi drinker i am, too :) (yeah, i know, it's bad for you - sorry, i ain't no 'saint', or whatever :]
oh - and you can say "thanks to my imaginary friend in the sky" and bother people -i'm sooo bad!
Uh...that "Coke or Pepsi can" story is a semi-myth, and it's 10 years out of date. See Snopes.com

The Readers Digest-reading undergodders keep circulating the story, and the details keep changing and getting wilder. Amazing isn't it? Here we are in the so-called "Information Age," and people still can't get their facts straight, or they twist the facts to suit their own prejudices and beliefs. (A lot of them also don't seem to be able to spell or understand a language they've been speaking since early childhood)
No wonder the buybull is such a mish-mash of nonsense. It's had thousands of years to get that way...sort of like the party game, "Telephone."
jeeminy, cripes, holt cow - & worse !!
Thank you so much, skycat - all the people i have talked with have never said anything about it - we all thought it was true. and i figured i didn't find them cause maybe they were only in midwest. it was never a big deal anyway, just a fun thing. the advert against was so well done, too. that'll teach me to use the Urban Legend site. oh, well, i was so proud of Pepsi. . .
i liked it when you said "Uh" . . . i usually go "umm"
anyway - thanks again - alexa (nyc)
There's something to put in, instead.
"One nation, under we the people..." ---And really, the first to complain gets egg on their face.
