Hi Lawry,
Your hope for guidance from Canada to help the US find its way toward
peaceful resolve is by far more logical than anything that is likely to

The answer is yes, and anyone who thinks that sand and heat is easier that
sweat and moisture for weapons is not up to date. What did in the body in

Hi Lawry,
Yes, it was me that was wondering if Canada has lost its

good point. I would guess that the differences in values within the US is
greater than those between, collectively, the US and Canada.
