![]() This was inspired by another thread. Previously, I certainly considered myself nationalistic. I served my country by purchasing stuff. I even watched a number of bad TV shows on Military Intelligence, which I expect, would have an even higher number of people with a strong sense of nationalism. After all, you must be willing to watch things which can, sometimes, be considered morally questionable (soft core and all that it entails) by merit of believing your side is in the right. As I have gotten older, I have wondered if nationalism is all it is cracked up to be. Nationalism is often an arbitrary veneration of real estate above principles. --Sum dude. It seems a common theme in some circles to somehow suggest an opponent is inferior by questioning their Nationalism. "Why do you hate New Jersey?" This accusation often times has little to no relevance to the issue or the particular stance on that issue. Besides, it seems to me possible one could be unnational without hating one's country. One could feel that no one country is above the others. What exactly does Nationalism not mean and why is it something to strive not for? ![]()

![]() “I am so sorry.... It is hard to explain. The master he died in a fight in the streets...Defending some people in the north section. You might smell the um stench. I have been keeping flowers and such to keep the smell out. When the wind blows south, it just gets unbearable...I am sorry....Yes I must finish. The letters were sent out a year ago. Milady, well she loved her husband something fierce. She didn't know if her sons still lived. We sent the letters for both of you to come home. A notice came from Greyhawk, your brother sir, he, he was a senseless loss in those wars. We had feared the worst. Debts went unpaid. Milady, your mother, she didn't last long without her love. She died three months after your father. I have kept your home and have paid off the debts with whatever I could find....First the silverware, then the tapestries, then furniture. The house is all but what is left and the farms in the north, there are no servants left but we did try to farm the land for some time. I have done all that I could....but with your return the Marchoiness is sure to give you leave and perhaps even a loan to find new servants in the north. Then you can farm the land and pay her back. It is honest work sir and I will do all I can to pay back the little I spent on myself... I had to eat sir and. I know they hang thieves....." |
