Well it's nice to have confirmation that the majority of American's are not like the close-minded people we see on this show. I too have met many
American's, and they are generally good folk. However, it's the consumerist ideology that has turned American from a Democratic nation to a
super-saturated capitalist consuming cycle that has distanced it's people from the morales and true world. Canada's military may not be a
superpower, but it doesn't deserve to be put down.
And don't worry, I'm sure the Arctic coast guard would be happy to save you!
I completely agree with the "Morals" and "True World" issues. All too often, I run into individuals who seem to have no idea of how to deal with
International Influences, and Situations. It frustrates me when, someone such as myself with International Experiences and Understandings of other
cultures, is left talking to a wall in my attempt to let others realize the way in which an International situation needs to be approached.
The Majority of my friends and close acquaintances are Immigrants from all over the world, including but not limited to: England, Ireland, France,
Sudan (South and North), Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Morocco, Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Bangladesh, etc. Through this, my
Travels, and the knowledge I gained from the MIL aspect of my Family Members (Who have sailed and travelled the World Over), I believe I am fortunate
to understand the "Bigger Picture", and the World as a Whole.
In regards to the Morals issue as well, I cannot say enough about that topic. The current Leadership in our Congress most certainly has a downright
lack of such, if not an outright disdain for it.
Another thing too, when we complain about our Southern Border being breached by Smugglers, and Thugs, some of our Representatives and Activists groups
Moan and Complain, responding: "That is racism, why don't you worry about closing the Canadian Border then as well?" Well, I have a simple answer
for that, and it involves the fact that we simply do not seem to have Canadians bum rushing South in Masses, firing at our Border Patrol, and killing
our Citizens. You have been an extremely good neighbor for as long as our two Nations have existed.
