Post Published Infidels: Pledge of Alliegance

With all the various threads going on now, I would like to start one central thread for us to say if we've had opinions published about the pledge ruckus.

I've had two letters published.

<a href="http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/070102/let_letter4.shtml" target="_blank">Ruling against pledge's 'under God' is good for America</a>

<a href="http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/070302/let_cartwright.shtml" target="_blank">Ruling protects non-believers from pledge's religious message</a>

I've had some comments.
  • An anomyous good ole boy left an extremely stupid message on my machine.
  • My mom's maid was upset.
  • A family friend said that the first one was a good letter.

So far no responses to my letter were published in the paper.

How about the other infidels?

Great letters, Rvfvs! I found this paragraph especially delicious.

Excellent letters rufus,

You'll have to keep us posted on published responses to your letters.
