    Don't worry, we've already moved on to Canadians anyway.
    "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961
    "Extremism in the defense of liberty is not a vice." -- Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP Nomination acceptance speech (not George W. Bush 40 years later...)

        When the mobile networks went a bit crazy, one of my friends had trouble calling her sister who was going down to London for an interview (she's fine, the train stopped in Essex). When the call wouldn't go connect for the third time, she put down the phone and went:

        "Knowing her luck, she probably got mugged and the guy jumped on a bus to get away...."
        Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
        -Richard Dawkins

              Maybe we call ourselves Canadians, and they Mexicans? That leaves the folks in the middle calling themselves
              Try saying "United Statesian." It doesn't flow tripplingly off the tongue, does it?

                A joke for Canucks...

                it goes something like this... When God created the world he made this and that all over the place. For Canadians He gave them one of most gorgeous landscapes, resources, women, and whatever. One of angels asked Him isn't that unfair to everybody else. He said "You should see the neighbors I plan to give them."

                  Greenlanders are fine people.

                  And they hunt animals and eat them raw, so watch it.

                    meh, I dont think its insulting or anything, i think its just good british humor. The guy entirely intended it as a joke from what I'm told, not an insult.

                          Eh, sounds like a Bushism.
