I said "I hope their voices are MORE optimistic and patriotic" and just to voice your opinion about this issue says to some degree you care. guccilver, do not give me so much credit as to change your love of your country, even though the "utopia" was never alive to begin with. My edit was adding altogether, no trap set.
Yes, to me the basic definition of an unpatriotic person would be someone who wishes to see their country fail, and acts on it.

I didn't say don't criticize the government, on the contrary, that is exactly who you should criticize. I said don't criticize the country, for not all those who live within it believe in absolutely everything the government says, but to love it's people as collectively we do try our best to progress positively not only for ourselves but for our world. ("our" as a human here, not specifically as an America.)
