DISQUS

you left out the u.s. biggest trading partner - canada. the u.s. currently has access to the largest oil reserves on the planet even though it is in canada's north and is difficult to extract. americans too often overlook canada in any economic sense. not only is canada america's largest trading partner, it is also a nato ally, and enjoys the eighth largest economy in the world.
i guess most americans think of canada as a big empty country with polite people who serve as hunting/fishing guides. it's not. google some facts on canada, because i'm always shocked when so many people aren't aware of the power of the canadian economy.

um, dude. an old man fighting for every breath he takes and finally succumbs to it. that's inspirational? dude.

the good ol' days when the movies were black and white and so were the villains and the heroes.
the villain wore a tailored uniform with riding breeches and spit shined black boots and a riding crop.
the villain's cap had a high peak with the nazi eagle in the centre. he sometimes wore a monocle and smoked through a long black cigarette holder and wore a "hacken kreuz" armband.
the villain would turn and sneer at the hero and spit out through his teeth,"zo! you von't answer my kvestions? ve haff vays to make you answer za kvestions!'
today the world sees the villain as g.w. bush; "y'all ain't gonna answer the questions?"...
