My statement is a bit general. However, I did say "most people" not all people. I will try to refrain from such "blanket statements" I can get carried away.

Hey, bud, if I move it''s not for ''political reasons'' but because it''s a little warmer and my wife of 24 years likes gardening.
There seems to be a multitude of options in recent weeks as the Keynesian message seems to be pervading the southern hemisphere after 50 years of Freidman''s folly.
Argentina, Bolivia and even Brazil are looking pretty attractive, though some are as yet unsettled.
Time will tell, and as property is still on the rise here we may wait for optimum payout. How are you, by the bye??

Most people in the US know nothing about the rest of the world. Most of us don''''t travel and if we do, we travel in large tour groups or on cruise ships.

Most don''''t have any true point of reference.

Gee, I wished people would stop making blanket statements like that.

I think people are a little smarter than that!

I''m not sure I''d say they know nothing about the rest of the world. In fact, with the exception of Mexico, I suspect the US is one of the more traveled countries in the world.

And, for the most part, while we do buy meds via Canada, they pretty much enjoy having a powerful neighbor right next door that has the Monroe Doctrine.

Not to mention the trade we provide.

So are the Canadians better off when talking about a "point of reference ?" I think pretty much it is eaqual between the two countries.

david1737...thanks for the support.
Baggy and I have a long-running feud on these posts and I participate with him for amusement.
It''s kind of like battling ants with water...you drown out most of his inane thoughts but a few weeks later they can be seen scurrying out of the cracks in your sidewalk like....like ants.
Pest!

Fact:

Many US citizen rely on Canada to buy discount pharma products.

Remember Bush said this of Africa:

"I''ve never been there, but I here It''s a nice country."

Baggyyyyyy...re-your 6:30 post...have a little look at our trade SURPLUS and our budget SURPLUS and our free Medicare and our (not spun) unemployment ratings, and our standard of living, and our ratings worldwide for educational standards and our....etc, etc.
But then, trying to reason with you is like trying to throw popcorn into a breeze...it doesn''''''''t go very far.
