    That’s because it’s very strange. Most of the rest of the world thinks we are insane for it We only think of it as ‘a bit strange’ because we were brainwashed into doing it as children.

      Yeah, I was incredulous when I first heard of the pledge being recited in schools. I couldn’t believe how often it was recited or how common the practice was. Surely it would be only a couple of times a year like the anthem was for me, I thought. Or only nationalistic private schools would do do it at the frequency I was told about.
