1. we are all earthlings living on a tiny imperiled planet; 2. empires come and go - we need not blindly pledge allegiance to ANY nation state - just temporary lines in sand. planet first. so to use your phrasing how about you leave since you put nation over planet. hm? bon voyage. sorry for being harsh here, but YOU chose a jingoist image and and even worse windy rant trying to defend it. we should be ashamed of our blood lust and our hypocrisy. ashamed of our hubris. ashamed of our empire. ashamed of our exploitation for corporate interests. we are the hypocrites and terrorists most feared by all other nations. a rogue state superpower. so please, go forth and develop a world view NOT based on exploitation but on helping this planet survive the parasite that is the human race.

Hehe... Been there, done that. Love the look.

But I still think you staged it. It's too neat to come directly from the dog. :)

Doesn't matter, because you probably just rearranged whatever the dog did. :)

Sorry to hear about your mother-in-law Lydia. Condolences to your family.

As far as the image goes, the effect may be considered trite, but it certainly has an impact - well done in that regard.
