ps,
did you in the usa at the beginning of every school day pledge an allegiance?
get them when their young, sad but true,
we had "oh canada" in the morning and "god save the queen" last thing,
i think today they have dropped "god save the queen"
This all speaks of mental conditioning. Shikamaru is requesting details of the express (writings). There is none apparently. The pledge is executed by repeatedly holding your hand over your heart and chanting together in unity. This certainly forms a constructive system of pledging. However it is easy to get out from under this assumpsit as unwrapping your mind from the conditioning.

I hope you come back to this discussion with a freezer-full!
