What is arrogant to me is the far east and west coast deciding what the middle of the country does ... I guess that's my main point for posting this topic. The heavily populated coastal areas have far too much influence over politics of the rest of the country. I'm pretty sure that's what the middle east believes, that one group of people should not be deciding what the other group does. And what do we have here, world peace? -------------------- I go to the maize and blue

The heavily populated coastal areas have far too much influence over politics of the rest of the country. that's kind of how democracy works... -------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

Good thing we are in a republic We actually had this debate a while back. We're in a republic, also know as a representative democracy. Definitely not direct democracy, though. -------------------- |

i don't know if you want to claim that nowadays, i don't and i was born here especially when i travel overseas, i tell people i'm from canada What? Why? I don't see the hatred for Americans that I hear people claim is so prevalent around the world. There's a reason the Canadians elected a conservative leader. Again. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

Again. well, in my experience if you mention you're american then you have to listen to their complaining about american politics and their interference in the world, and you have to listen to their bush-bashing (they're preaching to the choir but i still don't want to hear it) if you mention you're from canada then everyone automatically loves you and leaves you alone |

I encountered absolutely zero anti-American sentiment during my vacation in Europe this summer. Granted, we were in touristy areas, but still...
