You know what man, you're right. Thanks for putting me in my place. I'm neither nationalist-- though I talk about Armenia a lot on Hubski-- nor a patriot to any country particularly, though I was born and raised here in America. I've met a lot of very patriotic 'Muricans who are awful, hideous, vile human beings. However, I've met some incredibly charismatic doers and thinkers, motivators and inspire-ers, warm-hearted Americans who just want the best for everyone around them and themselves.

Such is the case for every other place I've visited. Needless to say, it just becomes very easy to toss aside all the things we have and take them for granted, when we get the awful lot of bad news shoveled down our throats all the time. Disaster makes easier headlines than Success, and eventually we get caught up in it. I think we're alright.
