If we were to release more water it would probably be considered and act of war by North Dakota who has water problems of their own.

So, too much water from Canada into the US and we would probably go to war?

do you think US citizens would stand for water rationing on a a massive level... so what do you think the US would do if they needed it ?

So, too little water coming from Canada into the US and we would move in to take it?

Those Canucks know how to cover their bases.<g> Following this logic, if there is too much rain in Canada and this causes flooding the US, Americans will invade to control the flow? Conversely, if there is a drought in Canada, the Americans will also invade to look for the missing water?
besides Canada could be annexed and declared a huge national park

How about a "autonomous region" like Tibet? (see my next post)

Tibet will be yesterday's news in what 40 years? If China was not military threat and economic threat.. they would still be treated like Africa.. not as a threat to be propagandized against.

Are the Tibetans using propaganda against the Chinese government? Or, is it just the US who are responsible for the propaganda? Are the Japanese, Vietnamese, Koreans and Filipinos using propaganda to counter China's claims in the South China Sea and East China Sea? Where do you think the bulk of the propaganda is coming from? Personally, I think there is more here than mere propaganda.

Also, how many West Germans forgot that East Germany was a part of Germany after 40 years? Did this eventually become old news to either of them?

Somethings are slow to change eh ? …KRON 4 News (San Francisco) June 4, 2003 Darren Brown was a young master's candidate at San Francisco State when he stumbled onto a collection of sheet music in which he would find his thesis.

Are you suggesting that the current criticisms of China are actually residual western racism? There seems to be plenty of criticism of China from their Asian neighbors.

Jack the Hearty, you seem to be unaware that England and the USA have not been landed in China for nearly 100 years. China was run by China before that apart from dealings in Shanghai, Dalian [my mother's birthplace], Hong Kong and peripheral bits. China was run by China after that too, other than some administrative assistance from Japan for a decade before China's bacon was saved by New Zealand [with some help from USA/Oz etc]. For well over half a century, now a whole lifetime, China has been run purely by China aka some totalitarian thugs who took over on behalf of the people who they murdered and starved en masse - unlike the British who introduced significant economic development and take a look at Hong Kong for example. <China after being dicked around by Europe and the US for years is coming out of that dark age.. > Coming out of that dark age?

England was ruled by Rome for years but is coming out of that dark age.. [makes as much sense] After several generations, people should be able to get past ancestral woes and stop blaming something that happened hundreds of years ago. Think of discounted cash flow returns on investment for how fast things should happen when people are not self-destructing. China for example in only twenty years has gone from a hutong mess of poverty to modernity [sort of, relatively, more or less]. It doesn't take centuries or even half centuries.

Look at Japan, South Korea, Singapore for examples of how quickly barbarianism and poverty can be left behind and huge economic development established. It took them only a couple of decades.

Blaming white people, or more particularly England, which brought civilisation to vast regions of benighted tribal horror stories is getting tiresome.

We can note that you are living in Canada for example, not a hutong in China. Gandhi, Eugene Chen, Mugabe, Amin and other leaders of independence totalitarians were educated by England, we should note. You can read 'it seemed like a good idea at the time' aka the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. en.wikipedia.org Unfortunately, Eugene believed the Marxist claptrap Made in England [in the British Library] and was instrumental in the following grand carnage which resulted from the totalitarian communist ideology which blighted the planet and still does in socialist Big Brother form. If he had backed the British Empire and joint venture with China, Japan for example would not have been filling a vacuum.

We should consider Tradable Citizenship before we declare The End of History.

The UN foments racism.

Israel is the prime example.

Racism, xenophobia and intolerance are problems prevalent in all societies.

I am sure this is nothing new to you or any of us.

My daughter was an EMT in Boston before she became a police officer.

One day she gets called to a bar where a black man was stabbed 5 times by another black man.

She bends down next to him and is about to start working on him

when he say "get your honky hands off of me".

She replied "you are going to die" and kept working.

A firefighter friend of mine who is black and also an EMT had the exact same experience with

a white shooting victim , who said "keep your nigger hands off of me." He also replied "you are going to die"


and kept working.


I have no idea if these 2 lived or died and do not give a shit.

Equal opportunity for everyone:O(
