Patriotism

This is rather a polemical piece written for the Albion Awakening blog. Its basic theme is that without love of the particular, as in love of country, then love of the general, as in love of humanity, remains an abstract concept or intellectual thing without any real feeling. If you don't love what you know how can you love what you don't know (as I believe someone once said)? So don't use the one as an excuse to deny the other.
