Subject: Be proud of your heritage.

To people like cosmos and Cat.  I don't understand how you can have no 
feelings for your heritage and your home country.  I'm proud to be 
Australian and that patriotism forms a large part of my life, influencing 
things as major as my career.

Not everyone can be proud of their heritage, ideed some hate it and no 
doubt have good reasons for that hatred., but to me, being so apathetic as 
to *not care* about your country is the beginning of the end of society as 
we know it .... although possibly the beginning of a singular, worldwide 
society.

I wonder ... if you have no feelings for your country, do you have any 
feelings for your family ?  Yourself ?  Life in general ?  I mean, 
afterall, a country is (in a way) just a larger version of a family (just 
without the blood ties).
