[Baggers]

I understand where dodge is coming from. You can reach a tipping point with nationalism where it becomes an ugly force. Australia is hardly alone is promoting this kind of low brow self exhalation. All countries do it.

I also get where Roger the Dodger is coming from. MBB old son, Dodge specified one area of this nation that concerned him... deeply - jingoism. Same thing concerns me. And as Principal LODS noted, patriotism is a spectrum, and most of us are probably where he is, in the middle - proud of our country but not oblivious or in denial of faults or very potential faults. Hard right patriotism is dangerous. Very dangerous.
