i think this guy might be missing the idea that the attacks are ironic - sounds kind of like what we've been hearing *from* alberta directed at the rest of the country for decades now, doesn't it?

pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, alberta. quit yer whining, too.

maybe it would do them some good to freeze in the dark for a little bit. take them down a notch.

it's truly honestly hard to care - because they've simply never reciprocated.

the best introduction to reciprocal altruism that i'm aware of is a film by dawkins, although i cannot recall the name of it. alberta has been playing a losing strategy. and, it's just catching up to it.
