Subject: A Small Change to the Pledge Text

Due to comments from a few reader, I made a very small change to the text of the pledge, simply to make it easier to parse and therefore, a bit more readable. To shorten the single run-on sentence and make the last point clearer, I changed:

    "... country was founded, and rejecting any initiation of the use of force as being wholly inappropriate, support a society based strictly upon voluntary association and free trade among its people."

to:

    "... country was founded. And rejecting any initiation of the use of force as being wholly inappropriate, I support a society based strictly upon voluntary association and free trade among its people."

I made the corresponding grammatical change to the pledge summary page as well. This edit has no effect upon the content and meaning and should be of no problem to anyone who has previously signed. However, if there are any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
