[BLOG-LIKE POSTING] Joys of Patriotism

[rfmcdonald]

I'd like to refer everyone to an interesting posting made by my friend Jonathan Edelstein in his weblog:

America isn't the only target of unfair prejudice these days - there are plenty of harsh words floating around about Europe, the Muslim world and especially Israel. So, once Haloscan gets its act back together, I'm inviting my readers - both international and American - to comment early and often about your favorite countries.

There's no requirement that comments be about one's native country - readers are permitted, and indeed encouraged, to talk about how they fell in love with another country while visiting or living there. Keep in mind, also, that the United States is a country like any other, and favorable comments about America are welcome whether or not they come from Americans. As comments accumulate, I'll add them to the main article and, if I get enough of them, I'll put together a separate page like Solonor's. Add links, and speak from the heart.

Well, gentlepeople?
