I'm currently quite glad I'm Canadian

[gnutmeg]

Hearing many not-so-happy things about the U.S. this morning. Sadly, although I did hope for better, I'm not terribly surprised.

"Welcome to the land of freedom and opportunity." Yes, where gays have the freedom not to marry. And everyone has the opportunity to parade down the street armed. Forgive the bitter sarcasm, but I really have issues with some American laws. I'm just glad none of the Americans on my flist are like some of the morons I've had the misfortune to meet.


...out of random curiousity, anyone want to tell me what "manifest destiny" means? I know, but I'm curious if anyone else does.

Oh well... I'm currently quite glad to be Spanish, you know. I could give so many reasons... did you know that my country was a dictatorship less than 30 years ago? Look at America right now... do you know what it is? Is "la tiranía de la mayoría", the tyranny of the majority, which is so not the same as democracy.
This makes me so mad, and I could rant about it so much... so I'll just switch to a safer topic, and ask you about that English speech you're writing... how's it going?

Sometimes I wonder if dictatorships would be better, in some cases...

Still looking for a topic for the English speech. Worrying about bigger projects due earlier for now, though. Like the knowledge portfolio that's worth 40% of my mark which is due in a week and a half.

Daniel wants to be The Benevolent Dictator. I have a feeling he would make all the pro-Kerry people happy. He insists he's conservative but I think he's wrong. *chuckles*
