You know, I don't get that.  I've seen lots of newsgroups explode into
US v. Canada or US v. UK debates, and its always so silly.  Ultimately,
you get a tiny little say in what goes on in your government and I get a
tiny little say in mine, but we can still discuss philosophy of issues
without being childish.  Or, at least, we should be able to.

The main beef I have with foreigners is that, for the most part, their
money is prettier than ours.  Who the hell picked green as the color
of money?
