Could be worse.  If I had to pick a country to rule over me, I could do worse then the Canucks.

You'll have to pay more taxes tho, about 50% more.

I don't have a job.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You'll be pressed into service doing 12 hour shifts at your newly-opened curling center :contract:

Just a regional thing, since they're based out of Atlanta.

I go out of my way to say "soda" around here.  "Pop" reminds me too much of West Virginia.

Ohio?  Illinois?  Kansas?  Michigan?

No way those crazies are getting into Canada.

Illinois is pretty liberal, just corrupt.

I admit a little part of me is curious to see what would happen if the ceiling wasn't raised in time.  If it weren't for the small problem of having to live through whatever the consequences might be, it is an interesting economic experiment.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

I don't trust American liberals either.  They're incapable of moderation and are wracked by white guilt.
