Not to be too picky, but having been accused of plagarism I think I should defend what I call my "honor". Tattered though it may be, a once majestic flag worn to a small pennant, it is all I have.

While protesting innocence in this matter, I confess I have plagarized at least once. In High School I wrote a Senior Theme on anti-particles and anti-matter. This was 1958. I got an A for content, a B+ for style, and a B- on the theme. I asked how that could happen, and was told my citations were suspicious. Indeed they were. There wasn't much written about anti-matter in those days, and I had strung together parts of 5 Scientific American articles. That was the entire theme. I was glad to get away without further penalty.

However, I note that FZ's cited articles suggests it was geese turning violent against humans. Completely different focus than mine. Eri suggests Canadians have a lot to answer for. Damned straight! And how will they answer?

Only I suggested WAR! A war against the source of the problem, not the missiles. A war which will end the age old tyranny of geese against mankind as surely as the current wars are eradicating terrorism and hatred. When one is attacked does one attack the rocks, or the rock-thrower? The answer is an immediate attack across a broad front, utilizing bean-bag shotguns and rubber bullets. After a decent interval a cease fire should be negotiated.

Plagarizing from my post below, I'll again suggest the US then surrender to the Canadians. The hell with 'em. Let them worry about the US debt.

Besides, it's probably the only way to get Universal Health Care.

I say "God Save The Queen". "Commonwealth" has a nice sound, sort of like redistributing, and "colony" doesn't seem as odius as it did at one time.

Besides, since GWB I'd MUCH rather have a Canadian passport while travelling internationally.

It would be the surest revenge against Canada for those geese.
