Jeff-
You said, "For a patriotic sentiment to have value, it must be voluntary, and the only
way it can truly be voluntary is to accept its absence without judgement."
The first part of Margie's message (that you didn't quote) was, "I don't think the
events of Tuesday are an excuse for patriotism. I see patriotism as a justification
for Americans' feeling of superiority and detachment from the rest of the people in
the world.
I see Margie as saying, <it's okay to be critical of the U.S., but being patriotic is
jingoism>.
Just my two cents.
