   THANK you for finally bringing this up – which is a lot more serious than the Ayers smear – her husband was a member of the AIP for seven years. Imagine if Michelle Obama had been a Black Panther for seven years!

   Love America “Just like she does”. I thought diversity of opinion was what made the US unique in this world.

   And let’s not forget her biggest terrorist buddy, George W.

   Better yet in Canada, a Quebec separatist party (the Bloc Québecois) sits in the House of Commons. Had no less than 10% of national vote although in only campaings in Quebec (who has 6 million of 32 million canadians).

   You go to admit, it’s not a masterpeice of logic. Some say it divides the left-wing vote (4 out of 5 federal parties are from center-left to left and yet we still manage to have a right-wing guy as Prime minister!)

   But hey, if Quebecers decide to put them on parliament hill, it must be for a reason. Maybe it’s even wha’s keeping the country together because it includes Quebec nationalists into the Country’s politics instead of excluding them.

   CF - Canada has always amazed me by its ability to hold together (albeit tenuously at times) an anti-melting-pot cluster of cultures. If Quebec has any sense, they won’t separate – I remember when all the big businesses were leaving it because separation looked likely - who wants to be trapped in a French-speaking enclave in English-(and Spanish-) speaking North America? Besides, as I understand it they’ve normally played a major role in Canadian ministerial politics by refusing to vote for outsiders, which is enough to block anyone else – which is why so many PMs have been Quebecois. If they split, they’d have no one to argue with but themselves!

   I think strenght is in flexibility and a capacity to adapt. Drop a pound of lead on a thin slab of concrete, the slab will break. Drop the same peice of lead on wood the wood will resist precisely because it is softer. Hurricanes knock down many trees but no reeds.

   In Quebec, separatism, the idea of a nation-state, is a quite romantic idea that seduces many intellectuals but few scholars. Personally, I think it takes more than a separate language to build a culture; quebecois have way more in common with english-canadians than with the french from France. It takes more than a separate culture to build a nation; we need many different people so one’s strenghts can make up for another one’s weaknesses. For instance; the maritimes have unemployment. Alberta, on the other hand, has tar sands but not enough manpower. People form the maritimes go to work in Alberta and come back in the maritimes for summer and spend there the money they made in Alberta.

   We’re North of the border, but it’s the best application of “United we Stand” I’ve seen so far.

   A lot of people forget that her husband is part Eskimo. The Independence Movement is part of the indigenous peoples’ desire to claim authority over their ancestral lands. This is never mentioned in the press…

    Wow! I guess most of you didn’t have any connections to anyone that died in the twin towers or the other attacks. How quickly you forget your real enimies!!
