I saw The Good Shepperd yesterday. It was pretty good, but was another example of how warped this country can be. While driving home, I passed an old pickup truck with a massive American flag covering it's rear window. Just below the window, in bold letters was written, "Don't like my American flag? Just call 1-800-LEAVE-USA". Yikes. The guy driving the truck was no less terrifying, he looked like a member of ZZ Top, complete with hat and sunglasses. Double yikes. I've gotta get out of here. I've enjoyed a lot of things about living in the US, but when I see crap like that, I get nervous. The whole idea of us vs. them is a bit exhausting. Not that Canada is perfect, but man, if anyone had that kind of bumper sticker in Canada, they'd just get laughed at. (This photo isn't of the vehicle I saw, but how ironic that it's also on a truck. Hmmm....)

Ha! Aside from the fact that there seem to be tiny red maple-leaves embedded on every McDonald's golden arch, you just don't see this sort of thing (in my experience) in Canada. At least not Southern Ontario.
My folks were Canadians that moved to Buffalo, NY in the 50s so their kids could be American citizens. I moved to North Carolina nearly 9 years ago, so I have a small taste of your pain!
