Flawed thinking, though. The world is not that black and white a place. Think of all the great artists, comedians, musicians etc who have made a living from criticizing their countries and dressing them down [America being the predominant example]. What would you have done with them? I know in most cases these true patriots wanted simply to improve their country but does everyone really love the country they are in? I love my country but if I won the lottery I would be out of here. Shame on me?
