It's a non - issue, folks.


It is if you're near any of it when it goes off. Say it takes half a
pound to shatter a human body into pieces small enough to make it
unrecognizable.

A bit of arithmetic says that 377 tons (US 2000 pound ton) would equate
to 377 X 2000 X 2 = 1508000 single fatalities.

If anyone thinks that's a non issue, they are arms dealers, complete
idiots or Bush lovers...but I repeat myself..(1)

Mike, Mike, Mike....you're dead wrong. Life is a game of numbers,
and 1.5 million folks haven't died. More Leftist hyperbole, from another
Canuck attempting (in vain) to influence a foreign (to you) election.

Why not just enjoy your Canadianness? Hum to yourself, rock back
and forth, wear a toque, and curse the people of Quebec, as your nation
fades into a predictable nothingness.

I pray no one gets hurt or killed in tomorrow's 'election' circus.
Quebec is just fine, thank you. It's a centre of culture, explaining why
you know so little about it.

Well I used to think highly of Canada, even though their coins kept
jamming up the vending machines in my lovel home state of Michigan.
But we were neighbors who enjoyed unfettered access accross a border
that wasn't really a border so much as a free-passage toll booth. My
travels to Windsor were fun; nice racetrack, real Cuban cigars,
fireworks were readily available as was good whiskey. I found Toronto
to be a beautiful city that was exceptionally clean and had a nice
museum. Of course, the only metropolitan area I had to compare it to
back then was Detroit, which may explain my awe and wonderment.
However, after seeing the lack of appreciation Canadians had for
Triumph the Insult Comic Dog (Conan O'Brien Show - guest filmed in
Montreal by Canadian request) I realized that Canada had become a
cultural backwater that indeed makes Cleveland Ohio a rather appealing
place to visit for cultural enlightenment. Since then I only buy maple
syrup from Vermont.

On behalf of all Canadians, I wish to extend my sincerest apologies to
Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, his family, his staff and all his adoring
fans south of the border. I have no explanation or excuse as to WHY a
sudden outbreak of taste, dignity and self respect should occur at a
very inopportune time.

The very fact that this grievous, ill considered and unfortunate episode
should so completely and bitterly devastate our long standing friendship
and cooperation certainly says something about the depth of our
aggregate intelligence.

Vermont? Do you know an innkeeper named Dick Louden?


sincerely,



michael

I'll accept your words as being the way you feel, however I cannot in
good conscience accept your apology for reasons I feel inappropriate
to expound upon. So as far is it goes for me it's still maple syrup
from Vermont and no more Canadian Bacon ........ other than viewing
the movie of said title which I found to be rather humorous.

Is it now? You would see it that way. It's a fraction of what they
destroyed, so it's a non issue? It's over 300 tons of the explosive used to
down Panam 103. They used a pound of it do down that plane.

Mike, Mike, Mike....you're dead wrong. Life is a game of numbers,

Yeah. We Canadians would be engaging in a rather futile exercise, thinking
we could influence today's election. That job has been taken by Bush's
friends in Saudi Arabia. He covers their ass and they cover his. Deny,
deny and deny. Just like Bush's National Guard Service, or lack thereof.
Bush supporters seem highly selective when it comes to what they accept as
fact. Everybody but Bush's team is lying.

Why not just enjoy your Canadianness? Hum to yourself, rock back
and forth, wear a toque, and curse the people of Quebec, as your nation
fades into a predictable nothingness.

Better our predictable nothingness to what another 4 years of Bush will give
the United States. We should all be scared at the thought of that coming to
pass.
