“The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naive and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.”
– H. L. Mencken

The country is an abstraction, designed by the few to enslave the lot.

I don’t particularly like it, but I can respect it.
