Hi Mark,
Another one that just got me going a bit.  When traveling and meeting people and first answering that I have a studio in Tejas, it's often just easier to reply to any tilting of the head or look of consternation with a simple "fuck bush", or to elaborate, "hey, by now a majority of people that live in the US disagree with the bastard"...along those lines.  Really, who the hell is to put anyone in a box...if everyone in texas were like bush, I wouldn't be here...I just love the climate.  Anyway, no one represents 100 percent of a population, so fuck the no matter where we're from and therefore are just like everyone else that happens to be there at the moment dictum...who the hell is this Pat Robertson evil bastard anyway...thou shalt not kill, jesus christ, sounds like all good christians...when the fuck is santa claus going to go out of fashion...and certainly not all muslims think the same any more than all jews or artists or atheists...freedom, if you'll accept this box, or not  You're right about the nurturing of certain brands or tribes, troops and outfits, teams and team spirits, nationalisms, corporations, churches, faiths, psychos... Among others, the US and English gov't are certainly sending out confusing messages...inside and out...clearly representing states of psychotic egos - maybe that's it, states of personalities, with personality disorders and psychosis and chill pill and loads of meds, a bunch of guinea pig medical experiments gone mad, and then glad, and cool and calm and up in arms again...the tide seems to be changing here where all people are identical and now entirely against annihilating Iraq...and just a few years ago, everyone over there thought it was the best idea since plastic corks...

  Hi Dion,

  Yeah - I get your point here definately. 

  I thought it interesting to post the article to see if anyone disputes its context, what is being proposed. 

  It is also interesting to take note that nation states, their governments - do tend to create and promote certain 'branded' stereotypical personalities of their own countries which sends a confusing message to all outsiders. 

  If we were to judge each country as a personality, like above, what would China be? In fact what would the UK, Croatia and all countries be? And can the many inner regions inside those states act as micro personalities? If so, then the government (in an artificial sense) could represent certain egos of these states.

    Here's a shrink from the US saying "Chinese and American people see the world differently - literally" which is his totally black and white versus white and black gray divisiveness,  trying to convince all of us that i am the same as every other fucing american that was born anyplace but china, or wherever he qualifies as not or as america....what the hell You, or him or americans.  This is another fuckin' problem...i am a poor white-black0oaborigianal man born in america and i am the same as a rich white man born in america to a poor but rich in spirit grey family, and do you too look in grey, gray, black, white or shades of all the worlds' wonders... we are all the same as all rich men in china who are certainly all the same as everyperson in as is everyplace everywhere where everyone considers more everyone who is more the same than any difference that anyoneshrink attempts to convince that all poor humans are the same as all poor humans anywhere as rich as poor can be....
