[Vision2020] Shoe-Tossing Rallies in Canada

I didn't mean, Chas, that I hadn't heard it until you used it *this week*

I meant I'd never heard it until you first showed up on the Vizzz, whenever
that was.  (maybe that was October 05)

Which begs the question . . . Don't we refer to those of Chinese, Korean,
and Japanese descent "Asian"?  Seems to me I'm as American as they are
Asian, right?

Just a thought.  It's better than thinking of snow.

That saddens me somewhat, as it indicates really how non-memorable my words
are.

I  used the word "USian" in a Viz dialogue with YOU, Dan, on 10/19/05:

> Anyway, I've lived in many places on this globe, many of them arguably
as wonderful as the USA.  I am lucky to have the right to live here, I
know.  As a USian, I live better than 99% of the global population.
But that isn't why I live here instead of England, Canada, Holland,
Belgium, etc.

The earliest that I've been able to Google my use of it on the
Internet, period, is 01/25/03.

I've used it on the Viz in about 7 different circumstances, according
to Google, not counting today.
