I think the Pledge of Allegiance is kind of like praying before meals is for most people, just something they do.

However, I am myself an american nationalist in this sense: I believe that the principles our country is supposed to represent are something worth believing in and preserving. However I realize that the US isn't the only country in the world that's supposedly free.

Greedo is the worst one IMO, it completely changes the story and Han's introduction. The ghost I can live with, the voice is just not as cool. But Greedo shooting first changes the meaning of the scene.

Sort of. It's not that they really think the US is surrounded by evil (like the North Koreans view the world or something like that), but they are close minded enough to think that we're (or really they're) the only ones who know how to actually practice freedom. So for instance because Canada is more socialist in leaning then they want the US to be they view Canada as socialist, or not "as free".

As a follow up to this, to what extents do modern cultures have a claim on ancient history? And what do we do when there aren't clear descendants? For example, no modern tribe directly traces itself back to Mound Builders in the Mississippi valley (from what I understand).
