I went to a country grade school in Illinois where we recited the Pledge of Allegiance every day too. And learned all those state capitals (I've forgotten at least half of them). I have to admit I had to read the Preamble through to refresh my memory, but then it all came back to me. I do wish kids still had to learn more about these things in grade school today. It didn't damage my psyche to memorize stuff or study the constitution, both national and state.
