Hello Siblings,

For me at least, it raises some interesting questions about patriotism.
Here's the question: Is patriotism blind ?
Do you ...
=> ... love your country even if it's been hijacked by psychopaths ?
=> ... love your country even if it's been hijacked by aliens... or nazi aliens?
=> ... love your country even if it's been hijacked by nazi Israelis.
=> ... love your country even if the elite are running round conducting satanic
child rape and child sacrifice rituals behind closed doors ?
=> What if your country was systematically detaining people indefinitely,
torturing them... that is, the native population as well as foreigners ?
=> What if your country was systematically dropping Napalm from planes
onto peasant villages in the third world ?
=> What if your country was systematically sponsoring terrorists and mercenary
armies of psychopaths and criminals to go around murdering and raping the
native populations of ....oh.. let's say... Columbia or Nicaragua ... for example.
=> I could paraphrase any number of Chomskian charges against the America...
... but .. i think you all get the general drift.
You can hardly blame Americans for wanting to leave ...
... the USA seems to be turning into the worst Orwellian nightmare.
I remember the propaganda about America being the land of the '_free_'
We don't seem to be hearing too much of that these days.
Next it will be those likable and moderate Canadians... fleeing totalitarianism.
Or maybe the Australians... their country is becoming increasingly authoritarian too.
After my last trip to London, i think most of the natives have already left.
I think unconditional love is rare, and temporary, and rightfully so.
It's normally most evident in a mother's love for her baby.
As the child grows up.. the love of parents comes with increasing strings attached.
Be good and be loved... be bad... and you're in the dog house.
Patriotism should be earned, not awarded unconditionally.
Your government should be worthy of it... or lose it.
Now would be a good time for those Zeitgeisters to get a new model
community off the ground... and prove to the world they can make it work.
More power to 'em.
be happy
