Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.
Oscar Wilde
Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately I hate them!
Albert Einstein
Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.
George Bernard Shaw
You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race.
George Bernard Shaw
EVERYONE is a contributor. Pretentiousness sucks. pretentious
ADJECTIVE: Claiming or demanding a position of distinction or merit, especially when unjustified.
Making or marked by an extravagant outward show; ostentatious.
Pride is a lofty view of one's self or one's own. Pride often manifests itself as a high opinion of one's nation (national pride), ethnicity (ethnic pride), or appearance and abilities (vanity). Pride is considered a negative attribute by most major world religions, but some philosophies consider it positive. Mine doesn't. The opposite of pride is humility.
Humility is the defining characteristic of an unpretentious and modest person, someone who does not think that he or she is better or more important than others. Synonym: humble
We ALL matter. We ALL make a difference. Trophies, badges, awards, titles, brand names and other man made paraphenalia that are meant to attempt to 'define the good of the individual' do NOT matter. What matters is who we are and why we do things.

About me: I was born in 1953 in Glendale California. I have two grown children and 5 grandkids and am married to my best friend. I've been teaching preschoolers for over 20 years.
My husband and I live a simple life and we don't want or need much. I admire my husband tremendously for being who he is, and I'm happy that I've been able to be strong enough to always be myself as well. He just needs to toss a line into the water now and then, and I need to feed my brain with new information about anything and everything. We both love to be in the garden...our common bond.
We have filled our empty nest with 3 sweet doggies: 70 pound Lucky, 30 pound Daisy, and 8 pound Rosebud. We also have Missy, an older cockatiel, as well as a huge gaggle of guppies and one sucker fish.
