Should the Pledge of Allegiance be Changed?

It amazes me that people can look at the pledge of allegiance, and the thing they come away with is a hang-up with the words 'under God'. We ought to pay more attention to the rest of it. We pledge our allegiance to our flag and our country, but most people can't even be bothered to even go out and vote, or give any thought to making our country a better place. This country, with all our problems, sadly created many times by our own government officials, is still the place that everyone would move to if they could, even if they have to do it illegally. But all we can see is the few things that divide us, such as the words 'under God'. I don't have a problem with removing the words, but I do wish the complainers would spend have as much effort trying to make our country better. Who else is going to do it if not us.
