Why not emigrate?

[Michael Perelman]

What does love your country mean?  Should I also love my state or my
county?  Should I have more affection for somebody who lives in California
and somebody who resides in New York?  What does it mean to think
something less of somebody -- less enough to go to war against him -- just
because he lives somewhere else?  If I am to think less of him because of
geography, why not extend that same principle to race?

I can appreciate accomplishments of the people of United States, just as I
can think ill of actions of which I disapprove.
