RE: Pumpkin seeds returned

Hey Bill, 

I hadn't noticed it until I read this post, but you should never be ashamed to be the nationality you are! I am frustrated with Bush's policies and decision some times and think he has hidden agendas en-mass. That has nothing to do with my pride in being American. You need to try and have an impact on your peers and younger Canadians so that if you feel you alone cannot bring about change, hopefully your impressions on others may help them if they find themselves in a position to make things change.

Bill

Sounds like you feel the same as I about Canada and its stance on Iraq.
It is a shame that all the US really wanted was moral support and our PM
could not offer that - all they could offer was liberal MP's calling
Americans childish names and worse.
Wonder if they foresee the repercussions this might cause our country - as
85% of our exports go to the states - if they decide to limit that by 25% we
will see a 50 cent dollar soon.
