'The word comes into the English language from the French word
"patriote," which came from the Latin word "patriota," which came from
the Greek word "patriotes," which meant "a fellow countryman."

The Greek "Patriotes" derived from the Greek "patrios" which meant "of
one's forefathers." '

As I've stated before, and will again. I am NOT a patriot. I believe with all my heart that aligning oneself to only one country is an off-shoot of aligning oneself to one's tribe... which is an off-shoot of one's family.

Until we are all ONE FAMILY, the idea of patriotism will essential be a divisive one.
