re: For example, patriotism doesn't necessarily involve questioning your country. That's just the myth perpetuated by those who've crossed the threshold from introspection to dogmatic activism. Sure it does; that's the democratic lesson. It's participatory. As for "crossed the threshold from introspection to dogmatic activism", that sounds precisely like the Christian right. Me; I pick my issues, no dogma. Abortion? I think it should be a local, not federal decision. Let the smallest community possible decide the mores for that community. But when the Feds start sending our guys to kill and die on my dime and IN MY NAME, you bet I'm going to mouth off. It's not my right, it's my duty. And your duty. Like I said, there is a disconnect between the way that you and I think. And it's got nothing to do with "ABB". What is it? John
