[extropy-chat] FWD (Got Caliche?) A Progressive 12-step Program

[Diego Caleiro]

Praising nationalism is not something exactly good, also, it is not good 
against bush. I even think that the rest of what Bush does is not so harmful 
to the world as his nationalism, so, I would never follow a step that tells 
me to follow the patriots that made any nation. 

Being this nation the nation that keeps my own country poor, being that 
country the country that preceeded mine in trying to teach creationism in the 
schools, being that the country were geography books show part of my country 
as a international area under its control, being that the country that 
sustained the dictadorship in my country, for 21 year, well, I don't see any 
reasons why I should thank the patriots that have done this, sorry. Being 
that the nation in question, I would never ever thank anything on its 
historical politics. 

Plato have said that philosophers are never kings and kings are never 
philosophers. While this system prevails, I don't think i'll ever suport 
anything that exists in national scale, anywhere.
