But your sphere of friends / business associates do not reflect the average American voter (i.e. not technologically astute business owners)
You see, as long as your vote reflects an informed choice....it matters. Unfortunately, the media has distorted EVERYTHING beyond belief BETRAYING the fundamental right to make an informed political choice. SO whether you vote DEMS or REPUBS it really doesnt matter because for the average voter, the process that has let them to make their decision is flawed.
And as to your other point, Canadians DO KNOW a lot about America. Because we are an educated and informed bunch of people...You should be SO LUCKY to have had an education where you concentrated on a global view rather then from a traditional AMERICAN isolationalist view. I've met thousands of Americans in my life...and many of them have this response of "duh...why should we learn about Canada"...and then they usually make some joke. Well, in fact, the joke is on them because such an OVERT expression of ignorance is not something to be proud of.
And another thing....I'll put up my knowledge of American politics/geography/history/newsmedia against 90% of people on this board and come out on top. Why? Because like most educated Canadians, we have learned to respect and learn about all countries and cultures, not just our own.
America is a great place filled with awesome, friendly individuals who are interesting and diverse and respect others.....but the War on Terror threatens to destroy the individual goodwill that 99.9% of you have.
In my daily travels and exposures with Americans and Canadians, there happens to be a new AND destructive concept emerging. Many non-Americans are starting to hate American People RATHER then the government that represents them. Anger and Hate are fundamentally wrong...yet for some reason you have an administration that seeks to propogate this to new and dangerous levels....
Oh I forgot....the incarceration and security industry profit from this....
When it comes down to it... peace is what people want (I edited this to add something else people want...FREE PORN). Not stress caused by war and fighting and guns. Why do people consistently argue against peace?
$$$$$$$ perhaps?
