Why

[sabotabby]

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.

Why did they? If you don't mind me asking.

They claimed that it was because my personnel file moved over from another government agency/department, but I don't beleive it because I've done that 2x before and they didn't make me do it then. I think it's because of some activism that I am involved in. I also got a letter that implied "be careful or we will fire you" and I had to get advice from the union about it.
It pretty much sucks to work for Big Brother. Fortunately, 1) the benefits are good and 2) I have alternative plans.
