http://www.freecardsbyali.com/america/america.html (massive movie which takes forever on dialup)
Those two links together are almost enough to make me feel patriotic. Almost. It's not that I don't care; I just haven't been able to get into the whole "[insert deity, deities or similar ness here] bless America" thing. I don't know why. I look at all the houses and businesses that have American flags outside of them, and I see all the cars with flags on their antennas and whatnot, and I just sort of blink and think "WHY?" I hear that schoolchildren are making little American flags in class as an assignment, and I shudder at the idea of such subtle brainwashing.
But those two links have got the ol' patriotism at least poking up its head to say hi, anyway. And this is good. Sometimes it is very, very dangerous to not think and say the right things about the "free" nation in which you live, whether or not a piece of paper claims otherwise. I do hope you'll forgive me if I suggest that we may be approaching one of those times.
