This is NOT a pot shot at OZ! But, one of the main differences in attitude that has been traditional for as long as we in the US have been a nation is that we are a nation of CITIZENS, not a commonwealth of SUBJECTS.

I see this in the difference between many Canadians and us here to the South. The Canadians of Western Canada are much the same as we in the American West. Eastern Canadians are living in a different world, altogether.

I hope I have not offended anyone; it sure wasnt my intention, and I feel that this forum is a bunch of free thinkers with a common bond. One we need to guard with every fiber of what is within us. Government isn't the answer, its the intruder.
