MY COUNTRY RIGHT OR WRONG
— by Gno Lackawitz, guest contributor.

It’s too bad the motto of the headline is kind’a catchy.
It’s too bad this little motto is short enough for stupid people to memorize and repeat.
It’s too bad that the meaning thereof is too difficult for lowlifes to understand. What it means is simple this: someone holds the idea of a nation
1) above the two laws of Jesus (“Love God above all else,” and “Love thy neighbor as thyself.”),
2) above the love of justice and international law,
3) above even what us festering humans can conceive of as ‘good’ or ethical,
4) above all reason.
It’s too damned bad that the thugs who espouse the nonsense of that bumper-sticker-for-cretins utterly fail to understand that a ‘nation’ is entirely artificial, and posits no real cause for destroying life. Life is real and God-given.
And it’s too bad those same half-brains haven’t the capacity to comprehend what I’m about to write here. This motto is a little longer, is a bit more difficult to understand, harder to memorize (I doubt Geo Bush II could pull it off), but it touches the truth, and makes a hell of a lot better bumper sticker:
ONE PLANET; ONE HUMANITY; ONE FATE
