Without question...

I can count myself among those who identified with it all as an "American Citizen" until I realized that I don't need to do so.

These people and institutions do not represent me, and I hold no responsibility for what they are creating, only for what I am creating in my own life.

So did I but I did not escape that indoctrination. I bought in lock, stock and barrel.

And a lifetime of anger over what it did to my brother being Marine infantry in Vietnam.
