Don,

To be honest, neither the nice guy or bad guy actually makes any difference
in Usenet. Very few people care what anyone says to them or about them.

So while you might be "playing the bad guy", my guess is you are probably a
good guy.

The pendulum swings both ways, so you can expect the extreme right wing will
swing back towards the center. I don't think we will be as socialistic as
Canada, but the anti-Canada rhetoric you hear in rec.boats is not reflective
of the vast majority of American citizens or the US government. I think
most Americans' view Canada as family, and you are allowed to disagree with
family.


Sounds good. Now tell George W. to give back the $5 billion he swindled
from us over the softwood lumber dispute.
