Allow an old man to vent for a minute - The ramblings of a patriotic old fart.

[OAS]

And I know patriotism shouldn't be a fad but IT WAS. After 9/11 Patriotism WAS something done for awhile and then it slowly was forgotten, as much as it's "bad" it's true.

Truer words have never been spoken by you Ikea, even in your movie critiques. This is one thing that is bothering me. The ashes of the WTC haven't even settled yet and the patriotisim is all but dead. To me it is very sad.

And AM, your point is very valid. Understanding the principles that the founding fathers sought, and how they made it come about is phenominal. And in our 226 years of infancy, we are still trying to make it work. We must continue trying to perfect it.
