I feel fortunate to have been born in the United States, but I don’t love my country. It has no love for any of us. A cold, manipulative, object of affection, the state fans patriotism, then asks those who love it deeply to prove their love by dying or sacrificing their limbs for it.
It will not happen in my lifetime, but I look forward to the day when states are no more.
Oy. Roger Alford replies here, and gets this riposte.
