i think the u.s. govt will feel it has no choice but to invade canada once the draft gets reinstated. a haven for draft dodgers must not be allowed (yet another aspect of the counter-counter-culture hysteria which has characterized the reagan era). -chris b.

Re: [Biofuel] U.S. vs. Canada (was Iran's Nuclear Program)
I was visiting friends in Windsor, Ontario last week and realized that these people take their leisure time very seriously. I'm not one to generalize but, I couldn't help but notice thatif your the excitable type and insist that everyone else be a certain way, you might just get a " off- eh". The very worst case scenario is that you really get 'em ticked off about something. A Canadian insurgency ensues!! They'll swarm over the border(or maybe just leave from work in Detroit) in full body armor (except for the old timers who refuse to wear a helmet).You then start hearing reports of people having their shirts pulled over their heads from behind and random body-checking occurs in every major US city and thegovernment will have to spend millions on gigantic penalty boxes to contain them and build huge pipe organs, playing cheerful chants to draw them out. But usually after all is said and done, the only proof that they were therearea pair of gloves that came off in the scuffle. :-) MikeMike Weaver [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oh, I will.
