The ethics of citizenship

I envy you being able to live out the Swiss part of your heritage more than I was ever able to (My Mom got this big resentment against Switzerland because it took them so long to give women the right to vote and resigned her Swiss citizenship in favor of the US - big mistake in my opinion).

If you don't mind me asking, what got you interested in a debate about what a US citizen should do and all the stupid stuff that's happening in this country? I mean I can see why from your perspective the things that go on in the third world are much worse, so who cares about what we foolish Americans quibble about?
