I think when I say "shame" I probably actually mean something closer to "cynical anger and sarcasm," at least in practice, as it's more about pronouncing, "I am ASHAMED to live in this country!" than actually wallowing in it--the response is anger, the word perhaps inaccurate.
That is very interesting, and I look forward to seeing it. I should of course mention, though it's probably unnecessary, that naturally I am not at all immune to that phenomenon. We all like to be validated.
