Firstly, why are you posting that on this list?
Secondly, please don't inject narrow-minded propaganda at a time
like this. People are justifiably upset as it is, and they don't need
reactionary drivel like this.
It would seem that you are less interested in picking a fight with
those who are "kicking" you around, than pounding your chest. Please
do this elsewhere.
Matt Cahill -> ANOTHER Canadian
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
psn> This, from a Canadian newspaper, is worth sharing.
psn> America: The Good Neighbor.
psn> Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently to a
psn> remarkable editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a
psn> Canadian television commentator. What follows is the full text of
psn> his trenchant remarks as printed in the Congressional Record:
psn> "This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the
psn> Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated
psn> people on all the earth.
psn> Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were lifted
psn> out of the debris of war by the
psn> Americans who poured in billions of dollars and
psn> forgave other billions in debts. None of these
psn> countries is today paying even the interest on its
psn> remaining debts to the United States.
psn> When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956,
psn> it was the Americans who propped it up, and their
psn> reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was
psn> there. I saw it.
psn> When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the
psn> United States that hurries in to help. This spring, 59 American
psn> communities were flattened by tornadoes. Nobody helped.
psn> The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped
psn> billions of dollars! into discouraged countries. Now
psn> newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent,
psn> warmongering Americans.
psn> I'd like to see just one of those countries that
psn> is gloating over the erosion of the United States
psn> dollar build its own airplane. Does any other country in the world
psn> have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star, or
psn> the Douglas DC10?
psn> If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the
psn> International lines except Russia fly American Planes?
psn> Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman
psn> on the moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios.
psn> You talk about German technocracy, and you get automobiles.
psn> You talk about American technocracy, and you find
psn> men on the moon -! not once, but several times -
psn> and safely home again.
psn> You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the
psn> store window for everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are
psn> not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of
psn> them, unless they are breaking Canadian laws, are getting American
psn> dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here.
psn> When the railways of France, Germany and India
psn> were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt
psn> them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went
psn> broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke.
psn> I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of
psn> other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone
psn> else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was
psn> outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.
psn> Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one
psn> Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get kicked around. They
psn> will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do,
psn> they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating
psn> over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one of those."
psn> Stand proud, America!
psn> I Thank Them.
psn> PJFSr.
