People who love and defend a government are creating parental figures out of the state instead of growing up and taking their stand as mature individuals.

I have a tremendous amount of pride for the America I was taught about in school. One that was aware of its past mistakes and was continually trying to better itself. One where people from all backgrounds intermingled and thrived with one another. One where the people decided their leaders and one that had checks and balances in place to prevent corruption.

Then I grew up. Now I resent the country that actually exists and the school system that misrepresented reality.
