Well, I always prefer to be loyal to *people*, rather than "countries".
The latter has produced too much pain over the centuries - time to try
something new. Hence, I don't care about the flag or the country. It's
the folks I live and deal with, be it here or in any other country, I
care about. In that regard, even "country" is nothing but a symbol, no
more...

...which is why I wholeheartedly agree on that one.
Cheerio,
