Apparently, tribalism trumps all for you. How wretchedly provincial...

I'm a human being first and foremost. It is merely through an accident of birth that I happen to reside in this particular land mass on the planet.

I recognize that being born *here* -- as opposed to someplace like, say, Sudan -- is most certainly a fortunate birth. But it is the recognition of the wholly arbitrary nature of my good fortune that instills in me the determination to work for the betterment of ALL humanity.

The greatest enemy of humanity today is the corrupt imperialist corporatocracy that eminates from the world's moneyed elite -- the U.S./Western Ruling Class.

Why should I feel any loyalty to the despoilers of the planet, the destroyers of freedom and hope for millions of human beings? My loyalty is to all of humanity -- not to the corrupt ruling class of the country I happened to be born in.

Viva Chavez! He is one the few Lights illuminating the present Darkness.
