Don't sweat it. We do talk a lot about Mandrake around here. I'm glad you're a proud Canadian. There's nothing to be prouder of. Well, unless you live in Toronto. :-) I see nothing to apologize about in my nationality, my country, what's right with us and what's wrong with us. My post was mostly about what's wrong, in my opinion, with far to many of us. If you weren't around in 1970 then it's not really your issue, though it is your history. For all that we are often hypocritical in our attitude to other countries, not just the US, we do have one thing in our favour. We don't labour under something as abhorant as the Patriot Act. And. should Dubya and company get re-elected the US can kiss the one thing that makes it unqiue among democracies anywhere and that's the first amendment which John Ashcroft is drooling to destroy. So, you see, we could end up being the most open and free society in the world in short order. All in the name of security and some form of moral purity, you understand. Sad, really, when you think of it. ttfn John *********************************************************** Composed on a 100% Microsoft Free Computer Guaranteed Virus Free Mandrake Linux 10.0 OE Registered Linux User 362316 ***********************************************************
