Would that be the same John Herring who dislikes blacks and Latinos?

All Canadians are our brothers.

Well, except for those who live in Quebec.

Or Nova Scotia.

I mean seriously - Nova Scotia? What the heck kind of name for a
province is Nova Scotia?

snip..

I thought you took Latin in school.
Nova Scotia was pretty big and important in colonial times...... until that
ungrateful rabble south of the border stole a chunk for Maine and it was
further divided when the United Empire Loyalists came north after your
revolution and formed New Brunswick.

At least somebody up there knows Latin. ;-)


You win the prize... one week cruise on my open boat. Must be taken between
Jan15-March 15.

Same here, but as a non-voting Canuckastani terrorist, what difference
does your opinion make ?

Then again, it is Canada.

Which is full of Canadians. :)

Although I have to admit - they do make a great boat.

Right Don? :)


They sure do and it's nice to see them appreciated by a man of your refined
taste and exceptional judgement. ;-)


Damn straight.

The refined taste and exceptional judgement part that is. :)

I figured they misspelled New Scotland. :)

While I understand, and I'm sympathetic to your point, I just wanted to
point out that "anti-democratic elitism" was built into the Constitution
by our founding fathers. It's why we are a republic, not a true
democracy. It's a tough question really. While I think I would prefer a
more democratic approach. There are dangers, populist rabble-rousers,
fascist movements, etc. The founding fathers may have been right. After
all, we haven't been doing our democratic duty of holding our leader's
feet to the fire.


And it's a point that a lot of people don't understand - the
democratic republic vs democracy. The states are set up as popular
democracies and the Federal government is set up as a functional
republic.

Personally, I think the system works fine just as it is with one
exception. We need to break up the big states into smaller states.
There is way too much ordinate political power in the larger states
what overwhelms the smaller, more conservative states.

I think the field needs to be evened out a little to bring balance
back into our legislatures, Congress and the Presidency.

Wouldn't do it Harry, I know OG Latino gangbangers and I am pretty
sure they wouldn't care for some grina susia using their brothers name
to pose on the net.. Seems I remember you calling them the s word a
couple of times too... My wife got a guy and his son great 40k a year
jobs with bennies just when they needed legit incomes. We are still
pretty good freinds, I can call and ask them if you like? They are
Latin Kings, but I bet they know some 13's in your area;)

The smaller states are Delaware, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. They are
progressive. Perhaps you mean the flyover states, like South Carolina,
Mississippi, and Idaho.

No, I never referred to Latinos by the "S" word. You keep imagining
scenarios for me. Remember, I'm the guy who has a couple of Latinas and
blacks on my "hottest women in the world" list.

What happens to your vile buddy Herring is no concern of mine.

I think you'd have to break up the big cities, not the states.

Look at the population centers.

What gets me is that almost all of the large population centers have
Democrats as leaders. Yet the slums, squalor, poor, uneducated, and unwed
mother problems continue, year after year after year.

Some folks can't seem to learn.
