The Real Patriotism

Real patriotism shows itself not with the raising of flags but with someone throughout decades and decades ago looking at the consequences or potential consequences of this mess and says we need to get rid of this. To me letting the country I live in be in this mess is as repugnant as accepting to live with the content of the septic tank inside my home. 

One may think that people could fail to manage things properly and choose the right path only with matters that apply differently on them. But how could an obviously necessary path where the justice and the need are in a unity like this be ignored like this? The question of life and death is like that of winning or losing lottery for something that is entirely man made and superimposed in this country but still they seem to have no problem with that neither for themselves nor for their moral principles.
