This Month's Radical Idea

Patriotism Is Dangerous And Violent - I once saw a young boy throw a small American flag on the ground in front of his father, because his brothers dared him to do it. It meant nothing to the boy, who hadn't yet been poisoned with patriotism and sacred symbols. Without hesitation the father violently grabbed his son and, turning red in the face, shook him and screamed at him, telling him that he is never to let the flag touch the ground.

This, I suggest, is the inevitable result of a worshiping of flags, and even of patriotism in general. Violence and irrationality come from such bowing before symbols, as well as from any group identification that is based not on shared values, but only on membership in the group. Loyalty to a group or country precludes loyalty to peace or truth....

Those who are ready to sacrifice freedom for security ultimately will lose both.- Abraham Lincoln
