LOL!!! Well, yeah, I expected to stir up some reactions...though I was careful to qualify my statements with words like "many" and "tend to"...so as to make it quite clear that I didn't mean ALL americans are thus and so.

But to answer some specifics, Amos...

"Is making sweeping, inaccurate generalizations something all you Canucks do???"

No. I had an uncle once who didn't do that...and...um...oh, yeah, there was this girl I met in Sudbury who didn't. Other that that....um.....well, gee... Lemme think.

"You are obviously part of the Great Satan Conspiracy, not to mention the :eft-Wing Dupe Club and the Folkie Fogminded Society, and probably a faggot hippie commie yourself, to blame this generic human fallibility on us Amurkins."

Damn! You've found me out. My cover is blown. ;-D

I promise to do nothing but praise America for the next 36 hours until I am fully absolved...or until pigs fly...whichever comes first.

Heh!
