[E_Pluribus_Unitarian]

Not too surprised to learn that little Will's family attends a UU congregation in Fayetteville, Arkansas, or that his principled decision not to stand for the pledge of allegiance generated scorn from certain quarters. What was he thinking? Doesn't "we the people" mean just "we the certain people?"

-- BTW, did you see The Daily Show feature on this with Mick Foley? Can't find a video of it, but it was great.
