nice discussion, thanks.
i won't say i am proud to be american, but i am extremely grateful. i
also know that my life and the comparable ease that i have comes in
some part at the expense of others in other countries. cheap clothes,
cheap energy, security etc.. so i feel a sense of responsibility.
i don't have the drives and fears that many americans seem to
have...no nagging urge to own property, get married or spawn. i dont
care if i don't have a lot of money, don't care if i am never
"successful" in the eyes of others. i dig my life, i love my freedom.
i truly believe we are here primarily to grow in love and
consciousness. to move from egocentric to ethnocentric to worldcentric
and beyond.
there is a lot about this country that i feel the urge to rail
against. and matt taibi and Jack have done it pretty well.
blind patriotism is simply delusional but a great thing for fascists.
hitler did a lot of damage with the "my country right or wrong" people.
