    but rather with making sure no import violations occur, and collecting the appropriate duties/taxes at the border.
    And what if an 'import violation' occurs, and the person refuses to cooperate and just continues through? What are the 'customs agents' going to do? Talk sternly to them as they drive off? What if a bunch of gangsters drive through looking for trouble? Your 'customs agents' would be powerless to stop them from going into the suburbs of Vancouver.

    The difference is that we don't view ourselves as an armed camp that needs to be defended because we are surrounded by enemies who covet all that we have and want to make it their own.
    Hmm. In the fantasy world that is the Canadian Psyche, there must be no such people as violent criminals or small time crooks acting independently of countries and nations.

    Before you start the country bashing, maybe you should look at the fantasy world of the American psyche: where line dancing is a good way to get laid, Iraq really did have WMDs, and Jesus would be in favor of the death penalty if he was here today.



    Or maybe it could be that both of our countries are very different, and beliefs that may reflect reality in the USA do not reflect reality in Canada, and vice versa.

    Do ya think?

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
