Us vs Them

The 3rd Rock From the Sun

Heather Mallick (Oct 30, Globe & Mail Subscription) nails it for the 95% of the World's population that does not live in the United States:

"Eight or nine people in the Pentagon, ultra-ideologues with a thing about Iraq, somehow managed to take over the U.S. government, with their president being a stupid man who truly believes he can bring democracy to every nation in the world by means of bombing. Spare us from the true believers......

.....The first lash that would accompany a Bush victory was initially mentioned on the British talkboards, but it is only now occurring to Americans that the rest of the world had to this point politely distinguished between them and their dreadful president. The world rather favoured American culture (thank you, Bruce Springsteen) and indeed its individual citizens. But if Bush wins, then Americans are as one in the eyes of the world. You found out what he’s really like and you still re-elected him; you’re it....."


Ms. Mallick then details how panicked Democrats will be forced to consider cross-border anti-draft child protection, health and sanity measures which would be very prudent of them, particularly if the status quo North and South of the 49th holds such that we remain Us and they remain Them.

Gazetteers like us, however, who try to pay attention to things like borders and co-ordinates, are not so certain that that status quo, or even the border itself, will hold.

After all, US ambassador to Canada Paul Cellucci spoke in Kelowna BC just last night about how the latest Bin Laden tape demonstrates that the two countries must form a UFNA to prevent the end of the world as we know it.

The UFNA is not one of those old world acronyms from Johnny Lydon's 'Anarchy in the UK'.

Instead, it is a Canadian 5th columnists wet dream - United Fortress North America.

****

If you don't remember Mr. Cellucci you should because he's the very same BushCo accolyte who told Us that very bad things would happen to our security and our economy because we didn't join the coalition of the unwilling and help to kill 100, 000 Iraqis for no good reason at all.

Luckily, we had a government that resisted the clarion call to naked aggression way back then.

But now?

Well, just hours before Mr. Celluci's announcement, which was made in the riding of the Shrubbery's intellectual equivalent, Stockwell Day, our current Prime Minister announced that the OBL video proved how much work we have to do together with the U.S. to erase the Terrorist scourge from the world forever.

Kind of makes you wonder if ours is a nation on the verge of a nervous breakdown as We prepare to become Them.

I've ever liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to well-wishing of just spend all at once staring at it as a formality of catharsis. In a route, it helps me with meditation, to free lay stress and just fantasize in the air nothing. That's why since I was a kid, in preference to of dolls and cars I've in any case sedate more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, musical boxes etc. So I was most delighted when I base the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Shine Appear Laser Top Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the Toys section. It's like a tuneful box, a spinning better, and a radiance show all rolled into one. Which is spectacular diversion! The gyroscope will concoct after round a minute. The laser slight display with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a pretty incomparable fiddle with that my friends have also been most amused with.

My dogs are also pretty curious about the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They always attend the gyroscope as it spins, although at first place they kept barking at the laser diverting dismiss show, and also because it produces music. But after they got worn it, they've stopped barking but simply keep following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also attractive amused nearby it. On occasion it's good to maintain fun toys around the house so that you can desert the diminutive on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you count prepare viands or receive changed. The gyroscope is inseparable such toy with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a map on it, and produces a taper indicate with red, blue, and green colours. Pit oneself against a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser incandescence show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that enormous but decorous plenty to treat any supplementary roomer to the house. The gyroscope is red and jet-black, making it look very cool, and to some masculine with that dragon imprint.

The music dismount attack plain gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also used this gyroscope to their heels my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy terror of decorating the pension latitude with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as well so that the laser torchlight expose produces a ideal effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the understanding effects created a sort of mawkish atmosphere. She loved it, not later than the way, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my default shopping put in return all gifts and ideas for emotional occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser go down playing gyroscope can perhaps be a talented Christmas contribution in behalf of the toddler or even the pet! Alternatively, the gyroscope can simply be a kindly addition to the usual Christmas decorations. I can imagine placing it near the Christmas tree and perchance spinning it when guests arrive in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my subject yet again!
