6 of one, half a dozen of the other, maybe, but "Do you hate this country?" strikes me as a little less... creepy... than "Do you love your country?"

We had a tough custom man in Miami back in the early Clinton years. My son was five. The custom guy looked menacingly at my son and asked, "Who is the president of the United States?"

My son responded, "Clinton."

Well, there was a group of college girls behind us in line and they broke out in derisive laughter. The guy looked sheepish.
