    Now we are talking evolution vs invention.

    Originally I was upset that Canada, where I live, did not follow the US, its close ally, into Iraq.

    This single post change all that.

    I believe that anonymity is the basis of a healthy democracy. It takes a lot of guts to stand up and say something controversial without being anonymous. I believe that the benefits of anonymous statements far out way the costs.

    The "...this is illegal because terrorists can use it..." argument is getting stale...

    There is a fine line between safety and police state and the US is passing it in a hurry.

    So hats of to living in Canada the home of the free.... until the US invades because we are thinking of legalizing possession of marihuana. As you know marihuana is a drug and drugs support terrorism.
