57. It was the best of countries and it was the worst of countries...
Chauvinistic nationalism is like High school football or Someone talking bad about your family. You support the team and get pissed off. You can't say "hey,that was a good touchdown" for the other team. "Hey, uncle Joe may be a radioactive serial killer but he helped rebuild my carburetor and he goes to my church". A good book that has helped me is From Dawn to Decadence. Empires rise and fall.:crazy:
