I'm still not sorry that I refused to stick flags on my car after 9/11. I've yet to contract blind patriotism.
America's brand frightens me, and Canada's Molson beer version (I. AM. CANADIAN!) just makes me giggle and feel thristy.
At least in Canada nobody gets pissed off or suspicious if you don't display a minimum level of zealous enthusiasm for the national logo er.. 'emblem'.
Anyone can point out qualities to admire and abhore in any nation. And what is a nation except a silly granfalloon?
"A granfalloon is a proud and meaningless association of human beings."
If you wish to study
a granfalloon,
Just remove the skin
of a toy balloon.
Kurt Vonnegut, Cat's Cradle
