Held Sacred... patriotism, loyalty to family and friends, honor/trust.

* What's high on your list?

I tend to find, those who put patriotism first, put good manners last.

At first, I thought you said "potassium".

Either way, they're both pretty low on my list....slight edge to potassium.

Right, I am not sure I see this as very sacred, but to each his own.

Did you know that potassium is essential for sending nerve impulses through the body?

Ever consider the source of stability of your lifestyle and framework of your personal freedom?

Personally I find the Idea of patriotism slightly ridiculous.... What exactly are people proud of... Being born somewhere?

But as long as your happy I don't matter.....

I would think that if you live some place nice, then a healthy respect for the people who made (and are currently making) it nice is only right. A sense of respect and admiration for those who sacrificed their time, hard work, and even their lives to make it so seems VERY appropriate. In my opinion, it would be rather ungrateful to feel no sense of patriatism.

Oh don't get me wrong I'm all for the people who put the time in to make my country..... But personally I didn't do all that much (as of yet maybe I will someday) to make it the way it is, so maybe what I'm saying is nationalism rather than patriotism? My point is that most people who are "patriotic" have done little if anything to shape their country, so what have they got to be proud of?.
