Does Mbarara translate. It sounds fun.
Don't call me silly it does translate
"The name 'Mbarara' has its roots in the English Colonialist's mipronunciation of the word 'Mburara'a certain type of grass; a favourite for the cows."
Sheepy might like some special grass too.

Back to semantics, "Patriot":
...L. patria, one's native country, < pater, father.] A person who loves his country, and zealously supports and defends it and it's interests.
Webster's Dictionary.
I think it is an error to describe it as deliberately choosing only to favour people with things in common. It can be a natural love.
It can come from honouring your parents and grandparents.
And sometimes you cannot simply choose to love other people's children with the same love you have for your own. Even if you try.

Patriotism is interesting as in the USA they are patriots, yet are literally the most mixed melting pot of races on Earth.
So some suggest Christian love and good will by looking for the similarities or philanthropy by this, or by suppressing one kind of love for another, rather than having both or developing love from family outwards?
