Damn straight.
Seriously I can see objecting to saying a pledge that violates your personal beliefs in a deity, I'd further agree this country has made plenty of mistakes, but won't I don't respect, what I disagree with are people who are young and snobbish, who never had to sweat and bleed, who are calling this country so goddamn awful.
If it's so awful, than leave it. Otherwise help try and change it.
Drug prohibition in this country has left our prisons overflowing with innocent people, that have harmed no one.
(2007) According to the American Corrections Association, the average daily cost per state prison inmate per day in the US is $67.55. State prisons held 253,300 inmates for drug offenses in 2007. That means states spent approximately $17,110,415 per day to imprison drug offenders, or $6,245,301,475 per year.

Do you have any idea the suffering innocent people are going through everyday because of prohibition?
The government owns you, they tell you what you can and cannot put in your body. That is oppression, plain and simple.
