novapsycheIf the Supreme Court actually does strike "under God" from the Pledge, can you imagine how Bush's core supporters will react?
Just the thought gives one pause.

Society should be about people, not about somebody's notion of what God is.

Charles Thomson chose this motto, probably borrowing it from Virgil, the famed Roman poet who lived in the first century B.C.
Virgil wrote the phrase Magnus ab integro seclorum nascitur ordo in the fifth line of his Eclogue IV. It has been translated in different ways, including:
A mighty order of ages is born anew.
The great series of ages begins anew.
The ages' mighty march begins anew.
Virgil's Fourth Eclogue expresses the longing of the world for a new era of peace and happiness.
Now the last age by Cumae's Sibyl song has come and gone,
and the majestic roll of circling centuries begins anew . . .
the Iron age shall cease, the Golden race arise . . .
and shall free the earth from never-ceasing fear.
Thomson coined the motto: Novus ordo seclorum.
The accepted translation is: A new order of the ages.
Thomson explained:
"The date underneath [the pyramid] is that of the Declaration of Independence and the words under it signify the beginning of the new American Era, which commences from that date."
