One of my favorite quotes about patriotism, comes from Mark Cuban:

The Most Patriotic Thing You Can Do: Bust your ass and get rich. Make a boatload of money. Pay your taxes.

So I certainly get the sentiment behind the article, but this is too much.

I cringed at the very end, with the blatant attacks on Singapore that made this piece seem more xenophobic than I could tolerate.

What an unbelievably unprofessional piece. I realize this is a personal blog, but I still wouldn't expect to see it on zdnet.

The fact of the matter is - whether you agree with his decision or not - Eduardo is a Brazilian who lives in Singapore, and has lived in the United States.

Who are we to decide where he belongs? Is he paying taxes to Brazil? Should he?
