I hate to say it, but after watching that national ceremony in Ottawa this morning, i think canadians have a better respect for their soldiers and fallen. what news media in the US would cover such an event as closely as the Canadians have?? none. they'll have something on ours for like 15 seconds later tonight, and that'll be it. everyone just knows that its a day off, and that its called verterans day. beyond that, they're clueless. a somber and respectful event like that just wouldn't 'sell' here in hte US, eccept for 9/11, and the only reason they show that is cuz it was only a couple years ago, and its lead to the situation we are in right now. and in general, the people are just
more in tune to what happened, and that it calls for respect and gratitude.
my regards to you northerners around here. you treat this day better than we do
(EDIT- BTW, congratz bob101, your last post was number 500 on this topic. cheers!)
