It is absurd to pledge allegiance to a flag. A flag is a piece of cloth. [good ideas]

I've thought this for a long time. I first gave some thought to this just before Texas came out with its state pledge, which is remarkable in its consideration of just that:
"Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible."
I remember thinking at the time that it was an interesting contrast.
Note that there is no mention of liberty and justice for all. It is Texas, after all.
