I was going to provide a detailed paper to you all, but it seems the
ignorance of you dumbshits has infested your mind.

I, for one, am happy to forgo the dubious pleasure of reading material
on paper that would be more appropriate scribed on a lavatory wall.
The whole idea of \"country\", it seems to me, is becoming, in this, the
global-village, an increasingly nebulous one. In a certain sense, there
are no countries really, just devolving flavors of local government
emanating from much larger power groupings. Just the color of the
buntings change.
The world is united under money - the Great Wall of China became porous
long ago and the Berlin wall is gone forever. Maybe the only wall left
to build now is The Islamic wall? Then the world will have two countries
again, something that simple fellows can hang their allegiances on.
When people speak with jingoistic fervor about \"my country\", you may be
reasonably sure that they have correlated certain cultural elements from
their own immediate backgrounds into an idealization of what they call
\"country\" and are weirdly prepared to reject, or even attack, their own
neighbors and compatriots if they do not conform to these arbitrary
expectations as \"unpatriotic\".
I am, you will gather, suspicious of both flags and those that wave them
for any reason other than fun.
Warm regards
I agree. I know what words I have used that conveyed I was talking about the whole of America. The fact is that I don't care about the rest of America. I live in Southern California and to me that's all that matters. The American Government to me is a big spectacle that's very fun to watch when you know how it works. They're like a soap opera. It's great!
