About this ebook
Sure I love my country. After all, I was born here. Or I emigrated here and became a citizen. Or I invaded your country because my country's needs are more important than any rights you think you have. Why wouldn't I love my country?
I display my flag, cheer for my country in the Olympics and in wars, and sometimes I vote. But even if I don't vote, I can (and will) tell you what's best for my country.
Peter Rodman
