Americans Don't Really Think That Other Places

Sentimentality About Nature Denatures Everything It Touches.

[if Quebec Became Sovereign] There Would Be One Level Of Government That Would Be Missing, One Less Level Of Government. The Municipality Would Become The Second Level.

I Basically Don't Think That The Way We Do Things Is That Dependent On One Resource, Such As Oil. There Can Be Different Kinds Of Engines For Cars. I Think That Solar Heating, Wind Heating Can Substitute For A Lot Of Uses For Oil. I'd Like To See Those Things Happen Because They Are More Sustainable In Any Case. But I Do Not Think That Running Out Of Oil Is Not Going To Bother Us That Much. I Think We Have Got To Be Rescued By Something Or We Really Are Going Down A Slippery Slope.

I Think That May Be The Biggest Difference Between Americans And People Elsewhere. Unlike Americans, Canadians Know That There Are Places Just As Real As Canada. It's A Self-centeredness That's A Very Strange Thing.
