As they set about doing this, the rest of Michigan and other States around them supply support and encouragement, and in the process chastise Canada for every move they make to try and protect themselves. When those in Michigan and the surrounding States are not busy trying to wipe every trace of Canada off the world map, they spend their time teaching their children to hate anything Canadian.<BR/><BR/>On this side of the world, we are aware of anti-Semitism, but most cannot even imagine the level of it in many of the Arab countries. Because we cannot fathom its strength, no analogy will work properly to explain what is going on there now, and has gone on there for the past 60 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1152989410426678952006-07-15T13:50:00.000-05:002006-07-15T13:50:00.000-05:00To paraphrase the immortal Johnny (Mike Leigh's 'N...To paraphrase the immortal Johnny (Mike Leigh's 'Naked'),"you can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs,and the Middle East is just a cracked egg...and the omelet stinks"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1152891726178295572006-07-14T10:42:00.000-05:002006-07-14T10:42:00.000-05:00Say we have militias in Michigan who regularly eng...<I>Say we have militias in Michigan who regularly engage and kill Canadians across the border and evade domestic capture. Said Michigan militia fighters kidnap Canadian soldiers and bomb border towns, sparking an aggressive response from Canada. Canada bombs Detroit and the airport there, to which the Mayor of Detroit responds by saying “What the fuck? Why are you bombing us? We’re trying to deal with those pesky militias too, but they have support on the border and it’s just not easy!” To which Canada responds…"The bombings will continue until the soldiers are released.” And then the militia tosses a few more bombs…followed by a formal statement of responsibility…followed by Canada closing the border and denying entry…followed by further escalation and drama.</I><BR/><BR/>That is a really good analogy, one of the better ones I've read.<BR/><BR/>problem is:<BR/><BR/>What if Canada thinks michigan is lying? (ignore objectivity for a moment here). What if canada thinks michigan actually LIKES the militia, and is only saying "we can't control them" because it is difficult to disprove? What if the militia actualy had a nice known support group and were part of the miching government? What if Canada thought that Michigan was damn well capable of donig something about it if it wanted to, but since it didn't arrest any of those pesky militiamen it doesn't have much authority?<BR/><BR/>Sigh. The situation really sucks.sailormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14955289920163298760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1152837328818980162006-07-13T19:35:00.000-05:002006-07-13T19:35:00.000-05:00Best to place eggs is cold water and once the wate...Best to place eggs is cold water and once the water comes to a boil then boil for 17/20 minutes- for best eggs-I've been gone for awhile but it is good to be back and reading youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1152820653013844832006-07-13T14:57:00.000-05:002006-07-13T14:57:00.000-05:00I just love your allegories, Shark-Fu.
