While I agree that, in general, we are a nation of giant pussies, I still think that you are making a false equivalency, that the difference in scale here is a few orders of magnitude.

I doubt the Canadians would respond to such a democratic, legal, and popular initiative in such a fashion."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously.

And you're completely ignoring that the Canadian violence is both recent and associated with an ongoing separatist movement, while the Confederacy hasn't bothered anyone in America in 7 generations. Why does it matter that the Civil War was bigger when no one alive today has any connection to it?KH FOR OWNER!
ASHER FOR CEO!!
GUYNEMER FOR OT MOD!!!
