I think Randy Newman expressed the sentiment best.

Note to RIAA:  the above link points to illegally posted copyrighted
material.  Go get 'em.

But maybe it's not illegally posted, if the server is in the Principality of
Sealand. Nobody recognizes them, and they don't recognize nobody.

Now that's got me  thinking that you may offend the residents of Sealand if
you don't amend the term 'international' to 'international and
quasi-international".  

But then there are those who are stateless,  who often sit in airports for
decades on end.

So it seems to me the term 'international' is itself exclusionary, because
there are those who are not citizens of any nation, recognized or otherwise.


Frankly I think every last one of you are plain rude, narrowminded, and
provincial.   A man without a country has feelings too, you know.

Don't even respond to me, I'm just so upset right now.
