Nationalism is a drug that powerful people use to make young men do and die for things they would never otherwise do. Frankly I look at the countryside strewn with roadside litter, the rampant me feinism, the corrupt planning and local government, and I'm glad I'm not proud to be Irish, because if I was, there would be a lot I'd be ashamed of.
