....and you have to understand that when you say that i'm "lazy", i don't take that as an insult because i don't uphold your puritanical value system that glorifies labour as sacred. and, i claim - with minimal controversy - that this is an american value system, and not a canadian one.

i've stated before that i'd have been a loyalist in the american revolution. that's not meant as an empty inflammatory statement. what it means is that i'd have fled to canada. and, guess what? i'm a canadian. it's just a statement of fact. i wouldn't have fought for american values then, and i'm not going to fight for them now.
