I can only conclude that the music fed into this thing was...
1. Every Mannheim Steamroller Christmas album 2. The soundtrack to "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" and 3. The music from the "stargate" sequence of 2001
I'm confused... Are we saying that evil US businesses were around destroying the environment 5,200 years ago? Cuz that's the only thing that causes climate changes today, apparently!
It appears that Slashdot is where the left wing lunatics peddle hate.
Come, come, they're not lunatics, they're just misinformed. Besides, Slashdot is NOT the only place where the lefties peddle hate. They do that on the radio and in mainstream news just as much.
The Canadian way is to pay levys/taxes on everything so we don't have to worry about anything.
I would love to be able to not worry about taxes. How do you manage that? Is there a "don't worry about taxes" tax?
Come to think of it, there are plenty of other things that I worry about that I would like to pay taxes on here in the US, like the erosion of our civil liberties. Particularly:
1. The right to bear arms. See "Rosie O'Donnell".
2. Freedom of speech. Here in the US you can't "offend" anyone unless they're Christian or Republican. Then they're fair game. This trumps any other consideration, including race. Just look at the abuse Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, and Clarence Thomas get.
3. Freedom of religion. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". But just TRY and freely exercise or recognize Christmas. You'll have a lawsuit slapped on you quicker than you can say "Kwanzaa". Not to mention the fact that atheism/secular humanism/"pluralism" is THE official religion of the US, at least according to the way the courts act.
I love the "evidence" about standard of living. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Canada is a wonderful place to live, perhaps even better than the US, though I have no complaints. And while I am skeptical (or cynical;)) about the fact that you cited a Canadian language school and Wikipedia (!!) as your evidence, what gets me even more is the very notion of "scientific" evidence for judging "QUALITY". Where is Robert Pirsig when you need him?

Or that they don't give a damn about politics, and just care about morality, integrity, quality of life, and progress. (Hint: "Progress" "Change".)
Who does Symantec think they are? Computer Associates?
Is Symantec doing a COBOL compiler now?
