Scalerman, Turning off the water gas and oil wouldn't put the US in the Dark. First off the grid is just that and almost impossible to "turn off" and secondly what will you do if Quebec decides to secede from Canada? They have a huge proportion of the power in Canada. Argue too much with them and you'll be in the dark.
Personally I think the US and Canada are at odds with each other over too many things as it is. We are, after all, neighbors. What makes you feel immune to the possibility of arab terrorism in Canada? I know I'll probably be jumped on for saying this but having the US in Iraq and Afghanistan(with Canada) the towel heads seem to be understanding that We(collectively in at least part) will come to where they live and search them out to kill them. Not saying they won't do something else over on this side of the pond as they are terrorists and have very little thought for others. But for the time being...they are keeping a low profile in the US and Canada...and spending their time and energies killing their own neighbors.

L Cooper, the best I can say is that people here really aren't allowed to use the basic principles of religion..of any kind. As far as having no concepts of international affairs People in the US are pretty much isolationists and always have been. We get entangled in international affairs through agreements and treaties. The few times in the past that we got involved in your government's European wars was to support GOD King and your country. So lets fight together rather than with each other. BTW the fundamental concepts of OUR constitution are usually followed pretty well but what does out constitution have to do with foreign peoples....And as for bullying and threats from a government...look first to your own. England made the US look like pikers. Really read world history yourself. I know, I know, England isn't your lord and Soveriegn any longer, you are free nation...but then...it still is .


And by the way...there will never be a speech such as mentioned ....and any thinking person knows it.. I feel you are a thinking person...so...think
