Why have Gay pride? That isn't a choice... it's about what it means to the person, the bearing it has had on their life, the memories they associate with it. Ok, it's maybe not a perfect analogy but you can certainly have pride in where you're from without it being a negative thing. In moderation of course, and with the knowledge that someone from another country has just as much pride in theirs and it isn't a contest.

@puck61: so you're willing to demolish land to build a pipe?
@Shadowstep: That's hyperbole. People are generally protesting for their own entertainment anyway. It's like a party, and people feel the camaraderie and selfish altruism and have a perceived reason to misbehave. It isn't going to "destroy the land" and "poison the watershed". It's necessary, and there are always risks, but there's no need for dramatics.

@EasyAndSlutty: why?
That's just a neo-liberal thing. It isn't. They remain under the delusion that they represent a majority, but they are more like bacteria. Very small but potentially very dangerous. The people who refuse to stand up to them are equally dangerous.

Sometimes people who are patriotic forget that everyone else in the world loves his own country, too.
