A Nation is a Nation

 A nation is not a community. A community is not a neighborhood. A neighborhood is not a family.

You occasionally encounter companies that claim to be "family." The people there may be close, but they are not a family.

Multiply that distinction many times over when you hear of politicians who speak of the nation as a community or a family. 

That language may signal the beginning of a political attempt to usurp the obligations and love of real communities and real families.
