Just because America has almost no redeeming values doesn't mean that other countries have redeeming
values.  I dislike all countries - not the people that live in them, but the whole concept of a
"country."

NO!  A country does NOT mean the same thing as the people living there.  A country is a social
construction, one I think we should get rid of.
