patriotism

Ex-pats sometimes give their home country a bad review. Fair enough, they left it by their own doing so they must have had their reasons. But I cringe when I hear these wise folks so easily dismiss or simplify what my/their/our country is or is not. So quick to say they aren't one of 'them.'  I am hesitant to jump on this train because, well, I most definitely am one of them (and so are they... and it made them into the super smart person they are today). 




In honor of the crazy and absurd, brilliant and ambitious, adolescent and headstrong, frustrating and ridiculous, idealistic and striving country I still call home... take a look and listen to THIS (from the good folks at GOOD).
Top comment sums it up. I would like to add that there are varying shades of good, mediocre and sorta bad in there too.
