enigma, In view of the corporate exodus to tax havens off shore, and the apparent disregard and neglect for working Americans by corporations sending all our manufacturing jobs overseas, just what is left about America to be partriotic about? The fact that CEOs can make millions, as the Enron crowd did, while their workers are financially raped? Is this what we should feel patriotic about? Or how about the reasonable speculation that the real reason we are in Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakstan, etc. has nothing to do with "liberty and democracy". That, in fact, we have strengthened the most brutal dictatorships in Central Asia because it aligns with the economic interests of corporations and has nothing to do with helping the citizens of these areas. Just what is this patriotism stuff all about? Enriching fat cats? Or spreading democracy and freedom? I think you are either completely callous or completely naive if you believe that average Americans should go along with the myth that America is attempting to spread democracy and a better life for the tyrannized populations of the world. Our so-called "patriotism" has become a hollow, hypocritical battle cry for corporate greed and imperial power. -Ray
