Your views are so ... simple, not only on this topic but many others (thinking back to the environment thread) ... I'm trying to be respectful of your views, but they seem to be very closed off as if you were someone who has never been exposed to anything else but what is going on in Canada that you just can't recognize the pros and cons or both sides.

The "best the world has ever seen" ... lol
There is a funny tendency among North Americans especially to try and emancipate themselves from their own culture. It's disappointing. We keep trying to escape what we know best in a fruitless search for outside knowledge. There is nothing wrong with being familiar with the familiar and knowing what is good is in itself good.
