Mr. Goldberg

“Writers” such as yourself provide a rich source of flaws that I can

use to illustrate what bad writing looks like for Grade 7 and 8 students

. As for bombing Canada, why not? Two of your “Top Gun” wannabes

killed 4 of our soldiers while supporting your country’s paranoid

rampage in Afghanistan. Not bad for a practice run. I guess our boys

just got in the way while they were “freeloading”. One of the biggest

problems with many Americans is that they spend so much time with their

heads shoved up their arses marvelling at their internal workings that

they fail to notice that there is in fact a world around them. Contrary

to the propaganda that has been shoved down your throats since the day

you were taught to put your hand over your heart is the fact that most

of the rest of the world is not half as impressed with you Americans as

you are with yourselves. A country that still has 35 million people

without any basic health care coverage is nothing to be proud of. A

country with tens of thousands of gun related murder victims and no

political will to restrict ownership of these useless devices is nothing

to be proud of. A country whose “political leaders” have largely turned

their backs on the beautiful and hopeful language of its declaration of

Independance is nothing to be proud of. That writers and “thinkers”

like many in the conservative establishment in the US do not recognize

these fundamental flaws in American society is tragic. Many of us on

the outside can see it plainly. Peter Jennings, like most 12 year boys

in Canada knows more about the US than most Americans do because we

educate our children about the world, not propagandize them about our

own country.

However despite your country’s eagerness to impose military violence on

those states it cannot control, the game is almost lost. America is in

decline and many of you are too addled by a lifetime of propaganda to

see it. So go ahead, knock yourself out. Insult your allies. Create

enemies and then bomb them. Hide in your gated communities from the

monsters created by the very nature of your pathetically superficial

society. Revel in the majesty of your “culture”; cheap beer,

pro-football, Walmart, Britney Speers and handguns! You have no idea

what it is like to live in a normal country.

BTW: Who blew up the Maine?

Sincerely,

just another Canadian wimp

(I probably just need a good invasion)

PS: Now that the US government is photographing and fingerprinting

Canadian citizens of certain racial profiles at the border, I have

suggested to my lawmakers that we institute “stupid” profiling at the

Canadian border. You and your buddy Buchanan might want to get a nice

haircut and a manicure before you come north again.
