howard zinn wrote an article in the progressive yesterday calling for an end to nationalism. nationalism is harmless, he says, in a country without power. pride is fine untill you mix in a nuclear arsenal and potential for global domination.

the article gives some history of our nation’s conception of unique-god-chosen-ness - and it’s affect on “outsiders” - from Indians to Mexicans to Filipinos, Afghanies and Iraqis.

nothing new, really, but always worth noting and remembering.

since he throws in a bit about the flag - i’ll add a scott adams note on recent flag developments. ironic - the heavy government restrictions on it’s “symbol of freedom”.
