Hello Platt & Squonk
I really don't understand the idea of being proud or guilty of being American.
I am glad I was born in America but I had nothing to do with this matter so I
do not feel pride our guilt about it. I would feel proud about a personal
achievement that is partly possible to due to the environmental conditions of
my country. But patriotism seems to be about the birth itself -- its like
waving the old RED, WHITE, AND BLUE because I was born with red lips, white
teeth,and blue eyes. Just seems silly.
Glad to be American absolutely, Proud- just don't get it.

SQUONK: You disapoint me.
