Their experiment is not in good shape, IMHO, and when pots and kettles start debating the colour differences in charcoal and soot, things go badly. I would lose self respect in responding to that attack on my nations values. Instead, I leave it to you, the reader who has taken the time in reading this reply, to understand that words like the ones I have quoted above can have a profound effect on the reader. Please be careful what you write.

Ben I do have respect for you, you seem to have a good head on your shoulders as they say, but I have to also say, welcome to my world. My nations values are attacked far more frequently and harshly here weekly then you will have in a year. A president I support is compared to Hitler, and the most irrational claims are made with utmost earnestness. Now I could get angry, but what for? Some I find amusing, some disturbing, some I think need medical treatment, but none are worth getting angry over. I'm sure you can find far harsher critiques of your nations values inside your own nation. I think socialism is a stupid idea which has made Canada weaker, which is a shame, and socialism world wide itself becomes more and more fragile as the takers outnumber the producers. When I see what you guys pay for your 'free' health care, I can only laugh, but I still love you.
