It seems that our country has a new name, "The Homeland." It reminds me of a science fiction series: "My home planet is the third from the sun." What do you think of America's new designation?

I agree with E. BTW, have you read the opening of my latest science fiction story?

I think it's ridiculously self-centered. But then again, what about our country isn't?
Other countries have just as much right to call themselves that as well. Right?
I can't really go on about political stuff because I don't care to know too much about it. But I do know that our country needs to mind its own damned business and get off its high-horse or whatever cliche those old people use...

I never heard that one, but if it's true, then frankly, I think it's stupid and ridiculous. The United States is a "homeland" to very few of the world's population. Even the people living there cannot qualify to call it such: only the natives can truly refer to this appellation. That being the case, I guess this is yet another propaganda ploy from the government.

So we should say 'United States of America Security'? Using 'Homeland' for some designations is just fine in my humble opinion.

The entire government reminds me of science fiction. LOL
