Back in the '60s and '70s, when I was a wee lad, the economics were such that the Canadian dollar was actually worth a bit more than its USAian counterpart.

USAian culture is very strongly individualistic and not-tradition oriented: do your own thing! It's new, it's different, it's better! Try it, you'll like it!

Yes, I know that I have only the very faintest inkling how important extra-curricular activity is for USAian high school kids, the oodles of USAian movies educating me on that behalf notwithstanding.

George Bush (Senior) is for some reason in Austria. He made the amusing Freudian slip of saying "Bob Hope" (incredibly funny USAian comedian) instead of "Bob Hawke" (former Austrian Prime Minister, and holder of the WORLD RECORD for DRINKING BEER).

That does not mean life as normal, or life as pre-11 Sept. I sincerely hope every USAian has a different perspective now of the world we live in, of the very real threat of terrorism.

You appear unusual for a USAian in even understanding the British colloqualism.
[Cindy Sheehan:] Observing how my fellow USAians believe that we live in the greatest nation in history and if our government does anything wrong, it’s an aberration instead of a habit.
