Henry>>>
I am more American than you think. I am from the great Boarder cities of Windsor-Detroit.
My school friends and social life were in Detroit. My early education and books and buying power were from America, right downtown Detroit on the great Woodward Avenue. Its all I knew, until I moved to 'upper Canada' in the 70's.
That's when the floorboards fell out. People up here did not know what I was talking about or where my ideas were coming from...they are very politically correct and socially say so up here, they take pride as social-nannies to each other, protecting themselves from each other and the outside world so much so that they are as docile as cows in a field.
But its changing as population is crowding the little original empires to expand their views and acceptance of 'other' things.
The air is extremely good, the water and lakes are perfect [one can catch and eat the fish], the job market is OK too, as the Fed. has the Head seat here...and I have worked in the Fed, the Province, the Regional city and the City as a Designer in Architecture etc...
Sometimes its hard for me to believe that these folks accept these assholes I talked about in 10. They don't like it when I express myself as such, but I am glad you did.
So Henry, there you have it in a nutshell!
