Excellent essay by Brad Miller. (thanks to James Lyons-Weiler for bringing Miller to our attention)
“I’m in complete agreement with Mark Twain on patriotism. He explained it as ‘supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.’ I too draw a clear distinction between government and country. The two are not the same.”
