How patriotic are you?

July 4 is our National Holiday. Today, we celebrate our country's birthday and in another 10 days, my wife and I can celebrate Bastille Day. So, where does my patriotism stands amidst these Holidays?

Hard to say; sure, all my “eggs” are now on this side of the ocean and I'm biased to the United States of America, but deep inside, I'm still and will always be French. Yet, I've traveled so much and seen so many places in the world, that I feel neither French or American.

I truly feel more like an earthling and can't visualize our world without being overwhelmed by this beautiful blue sphere, without any visible borders and any apparent strife over its surface. This is the way things ought to be. Long live our blue planet!
