You expected me to let you off the hook with this one?

Well, Larry, Not so much.
I could go off and say that my supposed thinly veiled 'Canadianism' is in direct
response to the demonstrable "Americanism", but I won't. You could insert a
number of countries where the health system is better, where the education
levels are higher, where the imprisoned population per capita is lower, and
numerous other things, and most of those countries have a socialism combined
with democracy combined with 'free market' *like* Canada. This point has never
been addressed, except to say that it "reeks of commie pink-o politics and we
don't want any part of that." All you fall back to is the tried, tested and
true in 1776 Jeffersonian philosophy.
So fun? Eh, that's what all the other NG's are for.
