I just got it from an old high school friend. I am taking time to decide how to reply... if at all.

I don't even know it this is true. It's google time!


On edit... it's not even true http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blpepsi-can.htm

1. tell him you agree..

but not because of the god bullshit, but because it's jingoistic, nationalist propaganda meant to make you more comfortable giving up your rights and paying for unneccesary wars.

2. It's a she, actually...

I replied by sending the link above and a paragraph explaining that both the 'under god' in the pledge and the 'in god we trust' on the currency were by-products of McCarthyism and are clear violations of the separation of church and state.

I said that, if it were true, I would rush to the store for several cases of Pepsi products... but that my aversion to jingoistic patriotism was in conflict with my desire to support this endeavor.

3. The separation between church and state

has been so much violated that it's moribund, probably has AIDS, and does not even interest anyone any longer. It just dies, curled up in a corner. Do you see ANY so-called democrats picking it up and caring for it? I don't. No one will take the risk.
