I live in the greatest country in the world! Land of the free! (dial up warning, pics! Graphic!)

65. ten times?....

Unless you've got some verifiable evidence to back that up, I'd file that one in my folder labeled "Wing Nut Delusions." It's a rather thick file, by the way.

As for Canada living off the crumbs tumbling from the America's economic table, once again, evidence please? Seems the Canadians have a rather vibrant economy of their own, thank you very damn much. I just wish it didn't lean so heavily towards resource extraction.

Rather than a 900 lb gorilla, I'd say we're more like a bull in a china closet. If our foreign policy didn't consist of royally pissing off most of the rest of the world, combined with wide spread paranoia, maybe we wouldn't feel it necessary to spend more on defense than the rest of the world combined. Seriously, last I checked, Canada hadn't needlessly invaded any foreign nations...like...ever!

Now, why don't you go practice your yeehaw, Amuruca, eagle fetish someplace else.
