Rant 149: Can You Do That?

[Irreverend Hugh, KSC]

There are lots of grammatical errors, but I can get past that.  I like your ideas that you provide in your rants.   Except that I like things to be of an entirely generalized nature.  That leaves ends open for interpretation.

I have this problem of being able to notice the tendencies of Western thought in its general form in people's ideas.  You present the world as Us against them, and I disagree.  Us = Them.  That is important to KNOW.  Revolution starts with the individual.  A supressed people create a supressive revolution, as Russia once taught us.

Liberated individuals realize the blame is not on the shoulders of others, but of themselves.

Heh. Nothing wrong with "Us verses Them" thinking so long as you use it as a useful tool while it's necessary. The trick is in not being attached to the definition.

Canada is just a large slightly independent state of the USA.

No.

Outside of the artificially maintained Quebec culture, what makes Canadians different from Americans? Not the accent. They speak like us. Or at least those of us who live north.

Quite true.  The difference is that Tim Hortons' coffee is not as good as Dunkin Donuts' coffee.

FTFY.

I think Canada is analogous to the guy who lives in the shitty loft apartment upstairs from the rowdy neighbors who are always partying until 5 am.

[Irreverend Hugh, KSC]

That is the correct placement of analogy.

Quite true.  The difference is you cannot buy Slim Jims in Canada.

1.  Correct.  It is not a state, it is our largest national park.

2.  And you can't get coffee crisps in America(tm).

You have two points there. It IS our largest national park.

you can if you live in the "State" that is a de facto maritime province.

(IOW, we have Tim Hortons here and YUO don't! neener neener neener!)

We have tons of tim Horton's in this part of Michigan.  The new Wendy's are being built with a connected Tim Horton's.  I have one of those less than a mile from me.

For about a month here people went apeshit over Krispy Kreme and stopped going to Tim Hortons.  

Then they all realized that Krispy Kreme donuts are made from Playdoe, and went back to Tim.
