And yet, it remains pertinent ... go figure!

I agree with that quote, but only in its full context. Most people think "My country right or wrong" is the complete quote. Not even close. What U.S. Senator Carl Schurz actually said was: "My country right or wrong. When right, to be kept right. When wrong, to be set right". Kind of puts a whole new spin on it, wouldn't you say?
