I
meant to convey that the Canadian newspaper article was in relation to the
nationalism thread, but I forgot. Anyway, that's something I'm proud
of...America tries to help. I understand that our interests are usually
somehow served as well, and like everyone else we've had some dark spots in
our history, but I think the intent is not always completely
self-serving.
And not all the
help that America provides is government sponsored... we have plenty of
volunteer and emergency services which provide aid.
Some of that aid
could be better spent at home, though...
Also, I've just written a paper on the impact of cookies, web bugs and
online profiling upon privacy in America, including a bit about the direction
of legislation to protect privacy versus protecting the right of the business
to collect and catalog information in the public domain. It's partially
relevant to this list as privacy is a cornerstone of American politics, but
it's about 28 pages or so in Word so I don't want to post it unless there's
interest. Let me know if you want to read it, and I'll email you
personally. If there's enough interest I'll post it. I found the
research extremely interesting, and it may spark a new
thread!
It's a shame that
Topica doesn't have a "Files" feature, you could upload it for anyone who
might be interested. Are you a member of the eGroups version of this list? You
might consider uploading it there... as far as I can tell, most of the members
of this list are also members over there... but here they don't get flooded by
messages and they can post their opinions without worrying about getting lost
in the flood (the other list has been known to have over 100 messages/day
:))
If you are a
member you can upload it to that Files area and provide a link to it for
others to use to view/download it.
