Re: Well... you entered this thread without doing your homework!
As it pertains to this thread as well as to the world at large, other than being just another good distraction to divide and conquer, the Canadian issue is a non-issue.
If it makes any difference, having been native born and lived life-long in these united states, and to put it into the vernacular ('hate' not really my choice of words, but I'll work with what others have already given me) already introduced to this thread, I too hate the U.S. (corporate definition of this entity, that is), I hate what it currently does in the name of freedom (for instance, the ongoing distruction and dismantling of the organic definition of united States (of America), and I hate all it's adherents and accomplices, starting with the present bush et. al, and I hate the brutal history herein going backwards as far as I can see (well beyond 5 minutes of my study, I'll have you know) through clinton, george senior, reagan, carter, nixon, johnson, kennedy, ....., dont' stop, keep going, and at a minimum do not even think, not even casually, about stopping on this path of backtracking and backchecking the long list of sordid federal criminals, at least until having gone past the era of the abominations known as fdr and wilson..... and find yourself at 1901, with teedie roosevelt as elected vice president who ooops, those nasty assassinations, conveniently stepping into oval office at the death of McKinley. Is this 105-year's view enough beyond 5 minutes to rouse you from whatever hypnotized state of blind patriotism you endure?
