As I've said--several times now--indoctrination of patriotism is no better than indoctrination of national self-loathing. As I've also said--several times now--our current education system seems to be far more likely to turn out a person that believes that Amerika is the source of all of the rottenness in the world than it is to turn out a flag-waver. That's where it stands now. Where do we go from there?
Any international form of government would have to adhere to the principles of rights, individual liberty, and limits to the power of the government before I'd sign on to it. None of the jackass collectivists that infest most of our current international organizations need apply.
Maybe we need a Federal model that would have a lot of authority at the local levels and limited central authority. Free people are still a minority in this world, and need protection. God save us from a pure democracy at the international level.
