HI Pearly,
As far as Canada being horrible well yes but similar to Churchill's comment on democracy it's still less horrible than most options ;o)

I was really upset by that issue. It was not just the words of Let it Be but the singleminded intolerance as born out by the unedited inclusion of The Time Warp. Unfortunately after speaking with the 17-20 something (age wise) councilors hearing their reactions to my inquiries, their lack of concern or question of authority, and the well wasn't he Catholic so who cares mentality.. it was really that I had a horrible moment of clarity as to the entire dynamic of this political correctness idea and it's perniciousness. That type of censorship would never have gone unchallenged when I was a teen. If those issues are unimportant to today's youth (and the population at large) it's truly sad. I guess as long as the music and videos that so denigrate women aren't censored everything is AOK :0(.

is the boarder with NH Yes that's beautiful country up there (or down there :o) as I'm from Québec originally). Funny I've remarked on this before I spent much of my teen social life in Vermont, New Hampshire, and upstate New York. It always seemd a natural thing and not foreign moving back and forth across the border in those days. OTOH moving to Ontario actually provided culture shock for this ex-Montrealer... go figure eh!

regards
Kastel

Off to do 10K with our energetic Aussie Cattle Dog pup who will try and stretch it past that I'm sure..
