It means you believe that your group X has a set of agreements that you endorse. Since any country as large as ours or yours has a thousand major sets of agreements in play at any one time, this is not hard. I am aproud American, as well, but I am temporarily embarassed by the current rule of inanity, stupidity, thuggishness and manipulation which has been brought to the country by Bush's gangstahs.

My pride is in more enduring things like Jefferson, the Constitution, may it rest in peace, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of what's-its-name we used to have.
