119. Why do you identify so strongly with a piece of land bounded by lines on a map?
You're taking it personally, like America is a person whose feelings can be hurt. Would America speak up for you like this?

People have the right to feel "not at home" in their country. The entire population other than African-Americans and Native Americans came here because they felt "not at home" in their native countries.

Are they traitors, too?
