| 3. I'll refer to the immortal Bill Hicks on this one... |

In describing sentiments such as these, he said that they should change the American flag to a picture of two people fucking, because for the vast majority of Americans, that is the sole reason they are citizens of this country -- their parents just happened to fuck here.
Of course, I think that there are many fine ideals as envisioned by our founders, along with many borne out through struggles in our nation's history, that we should try to perpetuate and expand. But to say that you're "proud" just to have a specific identity is plain foolish, IMHO.

I'm Canadian. My parents fucked here, to quote Bill Hicks.
