Old News Darryl, What's new is the tar sands and the destruction of our neighbor to the North for a buck. You were the country of Slings and Arrows, the Canada Council for the Arts and crazy wonderful ideals. It's always easier to talk about Russian Communists than it is to speak of the first 70 years of America. Chattel slavery is yesterday's news. Gulags are still popular. The one thing I will say for the Russians is rather than going to Africa for their slaves, they did it at home and in their satellites. People like me would have been in the Gulag because I am a bit a malcontent. I would be an OK prisoner but a lousy slave.

No empathy. No appreciation. No grace in defeat, because defeat is not allowed? Obviously good sportsmanship is not taught in the schools and, of course, when it comes to war there is no such concern when attempting to kill someone. I think those comments sum up the general American attitude very well. "Pride goeth before the fall." D.
