Oops, I thought I was responding to another post! Sheesh, I need to go back to bed.

It’s deeper, emptier.
In my old room the dark would snug me into bed at night,

Onceuponatime, there's quite a difference between nationalism and patriotism. I pointed that out very clearly in my post.

Righttowrite, I believe you missed the point of my post entirely. That's unfortunate.

He sounds like a jaded and sad man. I hope he gets wealth/comfort/whatever he's after from his cynicism.
