I'm sorry nearly your entire population lives within 100 miles of X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] 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. : >that border, and any residual bits of "Canadian" culture long ago : >disappeared, (except for an obnoxious tendency to winge) so mujch so that 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. : >Canadians travelling anywhere in the world are forced to plaster themselves : >with maple leaves to show they are different. : >George Purcell 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. ---- Dale. (A proud Canadian)
