Dear Friends,
I've just watched the American documentarian and author Oliver Stone/Vladimir Pozner interview on Vimeo and believe it is important for every American to watch and carefully study this interview. See the URL below
Particularly important for me is how Stone differentiates between deep love of country while speaking out against policies of transient governments and the histories of former administrations.
Somehow, we in America have gotten this mixed up by believing "Love of country means loyalty to whatever government is in charge at the time" -- and believing that those who question a current government/administration are not sufficiently patriotic.
Unfortunately history has shown if we citizens don't question what we feel is wrong, we will end up paying the price in ensuing years and even decades.
Here is a favorite quote: Loyalty to Country Must Prevail Over Loyalty to Governments
