Make love not war? I agree wholeheartedly... however love is considered pornographic and war is not. But we are generalizing and it has nothing to do with Renderosity, which is merely mirroring the greater society of which it is a product. I have a rather large magnetic American flag on my truck tailgate, and I'm very patriotic in the sense that this is my HOME, and I love my home. Also saddened by the fact that so many want to use patriotism as a "feel good" weapon against anything they do not like in the world, whether it's jews or muslims or pagans or blacks, whites, natives, etc.... and so by jumping on the patriotism badwagon to garner support for their nefarious causes, or even to sell their commercial products. "Love It Or Leave It" is a self defeating philosophy. Rather it should be "Preserve It Or Lose It".
