Re: OT: Canada is severely insulted by US official.

Probably because not everyone agrees that it's sensible, or they have moral
(or other) objections to it.  I love having grown up the way I did (my dad
and stepmother are Democrats, my mother is Republican, my stepfather is
Libertarian, and half of the rest of the ex-spouses are socialists,
including one who burned down banks in the 1970s because they represented
the Man or something), my perspective is all screwed up.  One day I'm
defending virtual eco-terrorism, the next day I'm annoyed about someone's
comments re: the NRA.

I've been putting it off, but I'm absolutely certain that my languages are
going to be full of political terms that are, quite frankly, obscure or
little-used by the general population.  My elves are going to be able to
debate capital gains policies (I'm a poli sci major, ONE CLASS away from
graduating -- I hope)  Anyway, does anyone else have a problem with having
way too much vocabulary for their pet topic(s)? [my other pet topics are
fiction writing and history; thankfully history is full of proper names ^_^]
