Why fiddle dee dee!

Canada a lackey of the U.S? I don't know....I had to wonder what to cook for dinner tonight and then try and help my daughter with her math homework. I'm too busy to wonder who is a lackey to who. And quite frankly, I really don't care. I'd rather trade recipes with your wife, if you're married, than to debate all that stuff.

Besides that, we're all just peons anyway. Anybody here ever read a book called "The 14th Century...A Distant Mirror?" It showed so clearly how modern day nationalism began. You see, the Kings and nobles back in the 14th century wanted more land, and the only way they could get it was to rile up their peasants enough so that they would go fight for it and thereby give the Kings the land they wanted.

So they preyed on the peasants emotions...and got them all stirred up over national boundaries. And so the peasants went to fight. I don't see where it's much different today.
