Jim, I have on more than one occaision said that I hope that when the US tries to control the information we have access to down here that our Canadian friends exhibit as much contempt for our government's effort to control the flow of information over the net as some of us have for your governments attempts to do the same. I loathe patriotism and nationalism, and US nationalism is one of the most harmful and corrosive members of that category. The net is one hope for dissolving national pride. -- Clay Shirky
