The Pledge of Allegiance at shareholders meetings...thats a good idea.

What I Wrote Then

25 years ago on the op-ed page

By Jeff Jacoby 

From "Patriotism and the Fortune 100," July 30, 1998:

[Ralph] Nader has been urging America's foremost corporations to make a voluntary show of support "to the country that bred them, built them, subsidized them, and defended them." How? By opening their annual shareholders' meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance.

Nader's suggestion is no doubt mischievous. I'm sure his motives have less to do with patriotism than with embarrassing the corporate directors and managers he has spent a lifetime battling.

But whatever his motives, on the merits his idea is unassailable. - Jeff Jacoby


Meanwhile  back at the ranch...

If it's unassailabe the Democrats will attack it simply  because it's  unassailable.

By the way; a bit of patriotism exhibited by corporate directors is long overdue and they shouldn't be embarrassed to do so.

No, I'm not trying to be mischievous. My motives are purely patriotic. -  Norm
