While I will agree that pride is unhealthy, loving the land you were born and raised in should be natural if it is a free an open society. IMHO America is the most free and open society of the modern world.

All societies have their positives and negatives but obviously the American model is working. Just because you disagree with the personality of one individual doesn't meen you should turn your nose up at the whole enchilada, because it works.

Love it or leave it, people have been dying because they beleive in it for two hundred+ years to include today. The sacrifices of those individuals allows people to have the freedoms they enjoy today.

I don't agree with everything this particular government stands for (legalize pot), but I am not going to be a little bitch and criticise them every step of the way.
