That line of mine is from 'Oh Canada' Sometimes when I'm debating, I jump
from one side of hte border to the other 'cause invariably, the stupidity
that happens to our bigger brother, will eventually happen to us, though
always on a much smaller scale.
So though we don't have the constitutional fiasco with all the bantering
back and forth about the ammendments and such, the bottom rationale about
separation of Church and state has, and will continue to, affect Canada.
Although just thinking about it now, we do have the Public School system,
and the Catholic School system, both funded by the taxpayers, so we
definitly don't have it as bad as y'all.
Further, when I'm going on about something, I do say 'you' alot. It's not
so much in reply dorectly to the person posting, it's more in response to
'anyone but me' ;) You (America) have an issue. You (society) should
really understand that you (everybody) cannot please everyone else, so stop
trying--sometimes it's confusing, but *none* of it is libelious. If I go
off on a tangent and say you who think the sky is pink, it infers those that
think the sky is pink, not necessarily you, the original poster. As you,
Dave! yourself pointed out, I wasn't responding to anything *you* said, thus
I can't be held libel.
Mentioning 'libel' everytime you (now see, the difference here is
you=everyone) don't like reading something will be the end of debate and
discussion, imho

And there is only one ++Lar.
Everyone has a Dave.

| Well, um... thanks for clearing that up! (...) Apropos of nothing in particular I would like to point out that as a child I had to sing both lyrical versions of this song at various points in my elementary school career (1), and therefore I remember (...)
