(sigh)

Canadian history is, for the most part, a bit more sober and less dramatic than that (with a couple of exciting parts when the USA tried to take us over, admittedly....oh, and there was the Riel Rebellion, but I digress...).

gnu, I thought it was Sergeant Renfrew and his dog Cuddles. Are you sure it's Corporal Renfrew?

Oh, another thing, gnu...I noticed you engaging in furious combat with the legions of the terminally self-righteous over on another "gun control"-related thread. My heart went out to you, as it does to anyone who gets drawn into such fractious and profitless and mean-spirited discussions, all of which soon descend into gross stereotyping and personal attack on one set of people by another set of people. One is better off to just avoid such threads entirely, I think, and I usually do make sure to avoid (posting on) them....but then a shocking thought occurred to me! Your member name gnu is an anagram for the word.....gun! Yikes! I wonder if the holier-than-thou who have the moral solution to everything have noticed THAT!!!!

Let's hope not. ;-D It could get even worse if they do.
