The Canadian Governor General isn't obscure. She's our Head of State.

I am not objecting to <B>"Encouraging a wide range of debate in spheres outside the USA"</b>.
I am alarmed that the issue is the most popular thread, as far as responses and views, for the last two days.
I mean to provoke no international incident, and I think highly of most things Canadian, and of Canadians.
Perhaps "obscure" was a poor choice of words. The fact is that most here have never heard of the woman, or of the office that she has been appointed to. There are 9-1/2 times as many Americans as there are Canadians, so it should follow that the thread might be...say....half as subscribed by TFP members as a thread about American politics.....is that an unreasonable assumption.
My opionion is that the "bible issue", coupled with the observation that there is no need to study the matter to become informed in advance of participating on that thread, made it a "draw" and a distraction for members here who might be better served by studying the numerous setbacks that the U.S., it's military, it's executive branch, it's debt, it's congressional integrity, it's reputation and it's relations with the rest of the world, has experienced lately. A sign of a climax are the several investigations that are resulting now in the prosecution of prominent political figures.
