I think that defining "patriotism" also leads to the question "What ideals, what or who in general, are you willing to die for?""



For the right to lead the life I was brought up to, embracing the culture and heritage of my ancestors. For the freedom of my family, and the families of others, to live without fear and oppression, and possibly for the rights of those in other countries to do the same (but ONLY if invited, by those people, to do so).

As you can see, a very short list. I would never be prepared to die out of loyalty to any MAN, or any political movement.
