Well then, if you are positive I'm a) lying, or b) being misled by Ontario 
news, then why don't you clear it up?  Obviously Daniel-Robert doesn't like 
the new legislation.

How interesting....I was just saying how nice it would be if you stopped 
writing this (a pathetic attempt to insult me), and started applying it to 
your own commentary.

You are a) wrong, and b) obviously being manipulated by your own media 
sources.  After all, talking about crushing the OUI side in a referendum is 
a bit different than burning cities, taking over homes, etc....  I do know 
American history Michel...and I did know about the civil war.  Oh 
yes...does it surprise you that we learn about American history up here?  
However this is besides the point.

The issue here is elitism....and what right you have to challenge another's 
intelligence based on whether or not they have mastered American history.  
As for your belief that the south didn't deserve what they got- well, it 
seems to me that you're applying a bit of a double standard.  You called 
the loyalists all sorts of names (including traitors) because they didn't 
wish to be a part of the US....and now you are saying that the South didn't 
deserve to be treated as traitors.  Well I will not beat around the bush on 
this one....I find it apalling that you can remark about how badly the 
south was treated after the war....especially given the fact that they were 
such strong proponents of slavery.  Why don't you ask yourself how 
"civilized" slavery was before you lecture anyone on what is and is not 
just!
