Well, I have to say 1)Rog used to love the meat pies his French Canadian mother made. 2)In Colorado, my parents and even my sister, bet, used to put salt in their beer (maybe that came from the Nova Scotia ancestry?) and, 3)that 16 yrs old who was quoted sounds a bit of a brat as do the "officials" from California. I do not like the sounds of their dermanding that one cannot take something away without replacing it of equal value. What a bunch of horse-doodoo! Americans can be so egotisitcal and brash, so sure that they rule the world and that everyone wants to be just like them! And, since when was the Olympics about high school marching bands? Esp. those from somewhere other than the host country? It should be the athletes and the host country's preparations. The marching bands should stick to things like the Rose Bowl parade, etc!
