I'm interested in learning what Couch and Fdemitrio think. There are different strains of patriotism, and there's is certainly one. Not mine, exactly, but it's just as real. Worth understanding.

How generous is it? How altruistic? How open, welcoming, and affirming? How informed? How brave?

Most importantly, where does it connect with my own mores and beliefs? What can we learn from each other?

So I've liked reading and thinking about their comments - and yours, too!
