This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 04, 2007:
This is a tough one - it's hard for me as part of the vehement opposition to the war in Iraq to come to a deep and nuanced understanding of my relationship to this country (the United States). Here's what it comes down to... I love this land I stand on. It's in my blood. I love the people I live around, even those who drive me nuts. I continue to have great hope that this nation will find its heart again and move forward with compassion. That's it.

not bad. for me, the word “patriotism” has been thoroughly desecrated over the past several years. I could never put together such a judicious, tolerant response.
