I would not object to being under Ortega's rule, Dickey. If I were a Nicaraguan I would vote for him without a moment's hesitation. I happen to be a Canadian, I was born in Canada, I have my whole life and my work here, my friends and family here, and I have no particular reason to move to Nicaragua, Australia, Singapore, Denmark, Andorra, Chile, or any other distant place right now.... ;-)

You just don't get it that things are different in different places, and that what works in Podunk, Iowa does not work everywhere...do you?

And I bet you don't get it that not everyone in the world is panting to move to the USA either, do you? You don't live in paradise, Dickey, you live in a society that, like any other, has both good points and bad points.
