CarolC: is it so difficult to obtain Canadian citizenship? I really don't know, but if I felt as you do, I certainly would find out.

I think your post of 7:04 P.M., October 5, clarifies for me, at least, why I have questioned several posts you have writen that appear to be unfriendly to the United States. If you prefer to be a Canadian, why not pursue it? You probably wouldn't have to be adopted by anyone, but if you want to go that way, maybe Rick would like to have a daughter! :>)
