Ted,

Re: My point was that this alleged centrism and moderation is in the eye of the beholder.

And so there is no center and the earth is flat?!! <g>


In Spain, maybe the people who just wanted the swift executions of the heretics were one wing, on one side of the center, the others who wanted to torture them and kill them slowly were some other side of the center. But if you asked either one, they would tell you that they represent the centrist point of view.

Today we say they were all crazy, and the silly distinctions are completely irrelevant. Well, to me, the Canadians are all socialist pinkos, and for Scott to claim that he represents the moderate or centrist view of the pinkos seems the same to me as the slight differences between the inquisitionists.

Joe

PS: All my friends who lived in Montreal escaped to Toronto, because if socialism is not enough, Quebec is run by socialists who happen to be very nationalistic and intolerant to minorities. Once vibrant city of Montreal - one of my favorite places to visit on this continent is turning into a very dull place.
