No offense, Catherine but I am not only duly informed but I have relatives and friends that live and have lived in both the U.S. and Canada and I remain strong in my statement: "the U.S. is STILL the most free constitutionally evolved and rights-for-its-citizens country in the world". There is simply no comparison in my mind or the minds of the majority of Americans here. Otherwise, we just might all move to Canada. Please don't turn my statements into a political debate. Some of the regulars just voiced a simple opinion about our U.S. elections held recently. If you want a debate I suggest you go to the ABCNEWS message boards (http://www.abcnews.com) or the National message boards where there are plenty of people who would like to debate political views with you. This is not the place for that and I really don't want to start into any kind of historical/political debate with anyone and no offense intended but least of all a Canadian at that.
I'm glad you can find something to relate to on this ED board...but please let's keep it that way.
Deb
