: Well said, Zandervix .
I am not proud of being an American because of several things.
One, how does it matter?
Two, this country isn't exactly a model of democracy (It's good, but not numero uno or anything)
Three, I don't have anything I preticularly support here that is uniquely American.
Four, what does being American mean?
Now, if you guys will be kind enough to leave my name out of the subject area with this, we can all get on with our lives, and forget that I ever brought up this line of thought.
It hasn't really done any good, and has stired up unwanted and unjust division.
Now, I'm going to try and forget that I ever said anything in this line of thought, and if anyone wants to talk to me about it, I can be e-mailed.
Good day.
