A reluctance to move can be inertia - I suspect that's what it is in my case - but you know, I hate to cede patriotism to the cynicism-impaired, the non-jaded, the devoid-of-irony. It doesn't just mean "my country right OR ELSE!!" dammit. I look at you and see an American, and one who loves at least some things about her country, and wants to fix it even if she's not sure how yet. So yeah, you're a patriot. Go to it. :)
