	Actually, in Vancouver (that's on the West coast, as I'm sure 
your U.S. "education" wouldn't have taught you), the climate is 
much more pleasant than that oppressive, humid sauna that you call 
Texas.  Hey, you probably live in a mobile home park down there, don't 
you?  Those tornadoes must be just loads of fun when they pick up your 
home and relocate it several kilometers away.

	Canadian culture is alive and dynamic, and sophisticated far 
beyond than what your pitiful American intellect is capable of 
comprehending. American culture is fast food, conservative politics, and t.v.
shows like "A Current Affair" and "Oprah Winfrey".  Hey, when you 
vacantly stare at Rush Limbaugh on tv in that characteristically 
American way, does your jaw hang open, and drool run down your cheek?  
Just wondering.

	Not exactly.  Canadians carry maple leaves when travelling 
because they don't want to be mistaken for Americans.  U.S. foreign 
policy doesn't exactly endear people in, say, Central or South America to 
Americans.  

	Hey, you live in Texas, right?  That means that you probably 
married your cousin.  What's its like to live in an inbred town?  Just 
curious.
