Another said, "I don't want to belong to any country. It just feels like you are obligated to this country. I don't like the whole thing of citizen. ... It's like, citizen, no citizen; it doesn't make sense to me. It's, like, to be a good citizen — I don't know, I don't want to be a citizen. ... It's stupid to me."

Someone inculcated this crap.

Find him.

Whoever taught this kid to think this stuff, needs to be dumped on a foreign beach, minus his testicles.

“Whoever taught this kid to think this stuff, needs to be dumped on a foreign beach, minus his testicles.”

Maybe it was a white kid who was officially made a second-class citizen by a country that despised him; you never know.

Civics was once taught in our nation’s schools. Citizenship and its importance was taught in the Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts.

The book mentioned:
Beyond Citizenship: American Identity After Globalization
Peter J. Spiro

FYI.

Amazon.com has a bunch of glowing reviews from “law professors” that will make your blood curdle:

“At the heart of Spiro’s argument is an acceptance of dual citizenship in American law and life. “

“In this lucid, engaging, and highly accessible book, Peter Spiro traces the erosion of the legal foundations of American citizenship and shows why the foundations cannot be repaired.”

The book came out in February 2008. Coincidence? I think not.
