   How about something new and radical for y’all--think something thru instead of being ‘reactionary’ all the time.

“Look how great we are because we’re always reacting to everything! We reacted to the damn Brits and had our little ‘revolution’! Look how great that was and look how great we are now!”

Actually, we were running things the way we wanted to and the Brits reacted to that. Too radical for them.

  
Well, a few other countries that were under the “tyranny” of the Brits have virtually the same ‘democracy’ and captialism as y’all, and they are, as far as I’m concerned, better off. I’d rather live in Austrailia or, well, hey how ‘bout where I live now--Canada, than live in the US--my life expectancy is longer, my health care is better, and I have less chance of getting shot.

Depends on whether we gun-mad ‘Mericans start shipping guns to the Quebec separatists. ;-)

  
“Oh but we have the potential of being the best!”

Well you’re not the best. You’re not today, you haven’t been, and at the rate you’re going, you never will be. Other countries are consistantly listed as ‘better than you’. Canada was voted the best place to live many times over (I think we’re like 3 now, but eh, whatrya gonna do?). But “can’t say that ‘cause those ‘Mericans will get in a tizzy!”

Hey, I’d love to live in Canada except for one teeny-weeny itsy-bitsy drawback: WINTER! Of course, next time I get pounded into the sand at The Wedge, I might reconsider.

  
There is something known as Christian apologists--they’re not folks who go around apologizing for being Christian, they’re the ones who ‘denounce’ the ideas that ‘denounce’ Christianity. I think there are a whole slew of American Apologists here--folks who scoff at *any* idea that doesn’t stem from the Constitution or from Jefferson as “not germaine for us Yankees!” Well, rationalize all you want, demean other ideas that are working better than yours as “anti-American” and go on with your merry lives. Just know deep down in your collective brainwashed minds that you’re not the best, and as long as you collectively believe in the entirety of 200+ year old philosophical “Jeffersonian” ideas, you never will be.

Well, we could go on with our merry lives except someone keeps moaning and whining and complaining... :-)

  
We will continue to grow and be proactive. The best you can possibly aspire to is to be reactive.

(no reaction - nyahh! Oops...)

(...) It is apparent that you have never considered Victoria, BC. :) We rarely get snow, and you would only have to compete with ~5 of us lugnetters for the specials at TRU. James P (21 years ago, 1-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
