Yeah, I believe people are inherently good, but if that was true, then everyone would enjoy Communism. I once believed it was truly a grand form of government, but then I found out about the real world and how dumb and naive I really am.
I think it is perfectly OK for Americans to show great patriotism, as long as it does not go to the point of making enemies with otherwise good people living in other countries. Life is too short to be mean and hateful. Of course, I have the grand pleasure of living in the US, instead of Vietnam or Germany, so I do tend to underestimate true evil.
