[new] Saul may well be right, but ... (Avg. Score: none / Raters: 0) (#5)

(User Info)

I seem to fall for it every time, and it is beginning to bother me, because I don't understand myself why that is. As I said before in reference to the discussion Brian Holmes started, at one level, I don't see any reason why I should feel any connection to the US now just because I was born there - but what is happening there now still bothers me. Does this have something to do with the US and media presence, or what kind of emotional ties do people from other places have to places they have left behind? Especially when those places become a topic of discussion, either in a positive or negative sense?
If certain places have a stronger media presence at certain times (for example, maybe South Africa, the Middle East), what effect does that have for people, who happen to have a biographical tie to those places?
