I agree with most of what you say, Ron Olesko, so I will try to clarify the point I was trying to make.
There is nothing wrong with patriotism, per se. There IS something wrong with blind, unthinking patriotism, and I think that may stem from having to learn it by rote.
As far as public displays of patriotism are concerned, I would love to see some that were spontaneous, instead of programmed, choreographed and imposed upon the people attending.
Given that last statement, you should now go and read the first post of this thread.
Good discussion, though!
