Re: Microsoft unleashes new Xbox in Japan to lukewarm reaction
It's entirely possible to love one's country without thinking that it's the greatest in every way. I think the United States is home to the noblest ideals and infinite possibilities, and it still has the most vibrant private sector in the world. But our education system sucks, our health care is lacking, our crime rate is too high, our economics is in shambles and our media is too limp-spined to say anything about those one way or another for fear of being accused as too conservative or too liberal.
I love what my country stands for, but I don't necessarily love what it is.
