While we're on the subject of arrogance, how much arrogance does it take to blockade a peaceful ferryboat, which is what a lot of overexcited Canadian fishermen did to the Alaska State Ferry a few years ago.

The Alaskans (Americans) took it quietly, didn't try to bust their way out, let the situation calm down and the Canadian furies spend themselves out until the ferry was allowed to go its way.

Then sent a bill.
