If You Don't Like It

[Mister Agenda]

I'm just not seeing how you can reasonably say the second is fundamentally different from the first, because of legalities. I don't see how the courts agreeing or disagreeing affects the logic. If the situation was reversed and it wasn't compulsory to shake hands and it was compulsory to say the Pledge, or if they were both compulsory, it would still be wrong for either to be compulsory, for the same reasons.

Do you think I'm trying to make some other point than that by the same logic for not making saying the Pledge compulsory, shaking hands shouldn't be compulsory either?

If you think this conversation is getting out of hand, if you say 'peace out', I'll respect that. I'm an admitted logic-chopper and if I'm doing it wrong, I want to understand how I went wrong; but that's not your problem. :-)
