Interesting article in the Knife, yesterday. It seems to lament the fact that the state isn't pouring massive funding into anniversary celebrations for the Civil War ( AKA, the War of Southern Treason ) and the War of 1812 as they did with Ohio's Bicentennial.
The part that struck me was a quote from Dr. Richard D. Ruppert: "Remember, if it weren't for the War of 1812, you and I would probably be Canadians."
Hmm. Let me see, now. If we were Canadians, we'd be citizens of a free country. We'd not have had our economy dismantled by three decades of disastrous Republican policies. We'd actually be able to afford to subsidize a bunch of re-enactment bozos playing dress-up out at Ft. Meigs.
Can I think about it for a while before deciding that being Canadian would be a bad thing?

We would also have healthcare when we need it, rather than it being dependent on jobs that are disappearing by the handful, thanks to the irresponsible fiscal practices of the aforementioned three decades.
GASP! Horrors!
