Love never fails.

Here's my deal with the pledge of allegiance.
So, it's not that I disrespect my country; trust me, I don't. But, I'm not too into the whole deal of the pledge of allegiance. There are so many things that I would rather pledge allegiance to: God, the world, the earth, other species, life in general, humanity...
It almost seems like pledging to my country is a little silly, because there are things that are so much more important that I am not pledging allegiance to. Why isn't it so? Why don't we?
Even if I was to pledge allegiance to my country, I would want it to mean something. It seems like barfing out those words doesn't mean anything anymore. I mean, who really feels anything while pledging allegiance to the country?
I don't want to make anyone angry, because it's not that I disrespect our country. I don't, trust me! I just wish something as important as a pledge would mean something, instead of an emotionless, machine-like recitation of something we learned in elementary school.
I should write my own pledge to God, the earth, etc.
I would recite them when I felt like it was needed.
(Or, is pledging similar to prayer? No, prayer is talking to God, nevermind, something a little different...)

What do you guys think about this?
