Default You've Got to Get Mad

They are certainly affecting our business relationship with certain South
American countries, and certainly affecting our security via other Arab
countries.

You need to lay off the bottled paranoid delusions, Max P.
We are not at war, declared or undeclared, with any South
American or Central American country. Or do you consider any
place "enemy" that doesn't speak the same language?



A recent trip to Canada was an eye-opener for me. I expected, especially in
Quebec and Montreal, to be treated poorly by the Canadians. To the contrary
they were all exceptionally nice and friendly, without exception. I made
two new friends, with whom I communicate weekly. It seems that commonality
between individuals trumps political enmity every time.


They're probably clinical psychologists, using you for a
case study.

In general I've found Canadians to be much like Southerners:
polite, friendly, hospitable, willing to help a stranger in
need. They dress a lot differently, especially to go
outside, and they're also less likely to shoot somebody just
because he needs killin'.
