Indeed so I have been told but I disagree though. Most of the positive connotations of pride have to do with some sense of satisfaction with one's self or some nonsense about self acceptance, I don't have that.

Yeah. I know what it is like when people begin to think they can operate with impunity, and I have seen what happens when it is actually true. Most places are lawless, the law just comes in after the fact to give people the illusion that they are safe and "justice" has been carried out.
