[Vision2020] Donovan, Canadians ARE Americans!

[Ralph Nielsen]

Forty years ago, about this time of year, when I was in Costa Rica  
for the first time, a native asked me where I was from.  I replied  
that I was a Canadiense. To which he responded, "Pero somos todos  
Americanos." (But we are all Americans.) I have never forgotten that.

Well, Donovan, you have gone and done it.....forced me to hop up on  
my soapbox and give you what for in the name of all my Canadian  
friends.  Trust me.....they get very annoyed with their neighbors to  
the south when we call them Canadians and refer to ourselves as  
"Americans".....as if we owned the entire North American continent  
instead of sharing it.

I rather like the notion that we have to share.....and that there's  
another little bridge of land to the south with Mexico.....also  
Americans....and if we follow that Central American bridge, we end up  
in South America.  Kind of like going from one neighborhood to another.

Stay warm, Moscow.
