Aristotle on nationhood.

Aristotle, in the Politics, notes city-states being of the “same blood” and at one point defines city-states as “blood connections of families, brotherhoods, and common sacrifices.” Aristotle goes on to say: “A state cannot be constituted from any chance body of persons, or in any chance period of time. Most of the states which have admitted persons of another stock, either at the time of their foundation or later, have been troubled by sedition.”[1]
Blood ties ≠ “propositional nation.”

Time-honored, bedrock connection ≠ sophomoric, traitorous bullshit.

How hard is that?
