ALL VERY NICE -- except that this is a misquote!!! "Options" should be "Opinions"! (Makes a lot more sense that way, doesn't it?)

Yes. But isn't this ALWAYS the way it happens?

A wonderful quote.

SO interesting to read the gamut of responses! I'm with the first guy -- the quote, and especially the "under god" part, is sickening. I think jim k., for example, is utterly misguided; I hope he doesn't lose too much sleep about "the American commies," since there are many REAL problems facing the country. It's good to keep in mind Samuel Johnson's wonderful quote: "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel."

Another really good one -- worthy of being added to my own quote list.

Excellent quote -- a good balance of positive and negative world views.

????? I'm wondering how ancient Chinese would translate into "pretty much alike." Otherwise, it's a kind of empty truism.

A really good one! But, if it's saying what I think it's saying, I'm not sure why Judith's born-again sister would be quoting it to her.
