national day

my facebook page is full of patriotically aspirational posts by all sorts of people today. very inspiring. it makes me want to sing the anthem from chess: long before nations' lines were drawn/ when no flags flew when no armies stood/ my land was born/ i cross over borders but i'm still there now.

except of course i am of a race as old as time but from a nation floundering to develop a persona. we simply don't do impassioned, principled angst.
