[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Nationalism = a state of cultural consciousness that exalts one nation above all others. That doesn't sound like evil, that sounds like simple 'hometown' pride... and in the case of the US, accuracy. <img src="wink.gif" border="0" alt="" /> Don't give me this 'citizen of the world' nonsense. Most of 'the world' is a crappy place to live, dictatorships, religious tyrranies, communist regimes, civil wars, ethnic cleansing, banana republics... no, 'citizen of the world' is a step DOWN for many of us. <img src="tongue.gif" border="0" alt="" /> Still, what's happening in Argentina is horrid and shouldn't be made too much light of. mathinks the central problem is here: [QUOTE]- An ever-increasing debt, from $30 bil in '83 to $140 bil in 2001, to pay for a megalitic state giving jobs for votes and favors.[/QUOTE] In other words, the same terrible marriage of socialism and cronyism that helped undo the USSR.
