The Sociopath Next Door.)
Different situations in my life recently (in addition to my neighbor and the talking bird/property destruction/etc) led me to Martha Stout's book.
I obviously don't live in Canada, and I know you guys aren't perfect. But just read the above book excerpt to see what I feel is one of the main differences in our cultures.
It seem like you have a more interconnected culture than we do here.
Of course I'm just generalizing, but as stated in the link it's like encouraging individualism has morphed into encouraging treachery.
Ranprieur's blog does have some interesting links, etc.
At first I thought it was a real flakey site as he does goes in to a bit of the paranormal crap. Some other stuff of interest, though.
