See, this is one of my biggest pet peeves with text. Humor or good natured sarcasm is often lost and I'm usually the one 'not getting it'. Oh well, I guess I'll just kick this small stone as I mope away. Sigh. See, this is one of my biggest pet peeves with text.

Would it not be better to speak out against it, like I did in my comments above, rather than perpetuate it? “Welcome to the world of guilty by association, something Americans have felt abroad for the last eight years (at least).”

OF course I don't believe all Canadians hold this view and I never said that. However, Canada does have a pseudo-socialist government with many questionable policies and though this is not the policy of the Canadian government, it is the business of a well connected consultant to the Canadian military and police.

One Canadian crackpot comes up with a stupid idea and you think 33 million other Canadians support it as their brand of socialism?? Wow. Talk about a gross generalization. I can assure you, my uninformed friend, that if you ask your many Canadian friends (in an effort to become more informed about their opinions on this matter), you'll find that they'd probably be just as horrified as I am that a high ranking US official is seriously considering subjecting it's own people to a potential torture device, regardless of the nationality of the person who's company is trying to sell them on it. “While I respect Canada and I have many Canadian friends, I’m not sure their brand of socialism should be something we strive for in the United States.”
