Why

Do governments think loyalty oaths are effective? Is it some sort of holdover from when people thought that magic words had some sort of supernatural power?

If I were, uh, disloyal, I'd just lie, because magic words are meaningless, and because I'm being forced to do so. In fact, I implicitly lie about a magical song every morning.

I would so wear one of those. Although I suspect it might get me into trouble on a regular basis, at least if I used it as an actual guideline for behavior very often.
