Some people love their country like a child loves their parent. Perfect, the strongest smartest ever, can do no wrong. Any criticism is an attack and unacceptable.

Some people love their country like a peer. They see their strengths and their flaws, and they want them to grow and improve. Sometimes that means hard conversations and difficult changes. But they do want what's best for them.

I see my country as a rabid dog who should be taken out back and shot. Its irrational and poses a great risk to everyone around it.
