Quote of the day

Guy Herbert:

It strikes me as absurd either to claim some sort of credit for an accident of birth, or to assume that the culture one is brought up in is ipso facto the best available to anyone. Nation is usually alien. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: when someone says “we”, I feel like a “them”.

For me, that’s a sentiment that reaches far beyond mere “patriotism”.
