    Hey we're all post-modern web citizens here, aren't we ? I don't think of myself as an 'anything' with regard to nationality. Those people with whom I share an outlook and a value system, interests and goals are not those people with whom I share a cultural past, by and large. No one could 'make' me any nationality, it doesn't matter to me - I never do anything or am motivated to do anything based on my notion of belonging to one of the archaic nation states or not, ergo it has no existence in my mind. You're the same too, you know it. Nationalism, and indeed national identity integrated as part of one's personality is for rednecks or politicians, who are basically lords of the rednecks - essentially they're very different people from you and me, and most sane interesting people in the world. Fucking flags and foreign exchange. I'll be glad when there's one world government to stay out of the way of not 200.
