For #6, I think you have Polaris confused with Byrnzie.
I honestly believe that anyone who genuinely thinks I hate America based on my posts on this message board over the past six years must have their head up their ass.
Even If I entertain this notion for a minute I still find it impossible to understand how anyone can hate an entire country. Maybe I'm just a bit thick, but how does someone hate the Rocky mountains, the Redwoods, the Grand Canyon, the whole of American literature, art, and music? How does someone hate every American movie, documentary, actor and actress? And how does someone hate every American poet, and political commentator?
If I hated America then why would I post messages on a forum for an American rock band?
The more I think about it, the more absurd it becomes. It becomes even more ridiculous when you take into account how In six years of posting on this message board I've arguably been the most vocal fan of people like Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein, Bill Hicks, Charles Bukowski, Jack Kerouac, Ginsberg, Hunter S. Thompson, Henry Miller, e.t.c, e.t.c.
If I really hated America then I'd have to burn half my record and book collection.
In some people's narrow minds, does criticizing everything that's wrong with a country mean that you therefore hate everything that's right with it too?
Or is it just that anyone who's critical of the corruption of the U.S government and U.S foreign policy, must therefore hate 'America'?

I think that is the definition of patriotism.
This makes waaaaaay too much sence.
