I'm not Canadian, but I live right on the border, and I say "eh" a lot,
so I feel justified in making a simple observation -- flame if you
must -- 

	Canada is what the US would be like if we really WERE kinder
and gentler.  Canada is what the US would be if we watched less TV and
eat less meat.  And had homosexual comic=book heroes and couldn't get
guns.  Canada is like America, but more European.  

	I'm kind of glad I'm American ... I might *want* a gun some day ...
and how many Polaks live in Canada?


	On Catholicism, there is just way too much pederasty inherent in
the system.  If it's the old-fashioned Catholicism, then you can't talk about
anything -- I was actually forced to hang out with one of my perps because
my parents wanted me to have friends.  And girls were out of the question.
And boys couldn't possibly be sexual with each other ...

grrrrr


	As for priests who sodomize, wwe should make an example of them.
We should say:" Very well, the others we will give to the courts, but these
men had a duty.  They had to be purer than Caesar's wife.  And they sank
to the lowest depths of depravity, and so we are going to try them in 
ecclesiastical courts and burn them at the stake in front of the church."

	Yeah, if you burned all the child molester priests, you could go with
out firewood for quite a while.  I would probably be a priest right now if
 the Knights Templar or the Inquisition were still in business.  (:  With
a lethal weapon where I could draw it quickly and the "love of jesus in my
pretty green eyes," as Clint Eastwood put it so nicely.  

	Guess what.  I don't think the K.T. or the I. are going to be back
in business any time soon, so I'm not a priest!

	Culturally, it's kind of amusing that I'm in a post-Catholic or
Catholic environment here in Buffalo, and therefore I'm an "invisible man."
I don't need a confidential email address ... hell, I could wave a flag
saying

I'VE BEEN RAPED

	and most people would see me coming and manage to avoid noticing.
And the others would forget me the instant after I got out of their face.
I have confidentiality, whether I want it or not, because nobody wants
to admit that rape happens, especially not to men. (:

	But ... I am for damn sure that Catholic priests who rape get
publicized a whole hell of a lot more than everyone else, because the
media hate the Catholic church.

	And, on a final attempt to swing back to relevancy, the US can 
get pretty damn lax.  I believe 'twas here in Buffalo, last year, that
a man was found guilty of raping several teenagers and sentenced to

EIGHT WEEKS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE!!!!!!!@

	because he was a father and he couldn't leave his family to go on
without him.


	Christ.  If anybody pulled that defense, I would have him skinned 
alive.  And I would do my damnedest to prove that his family had
somehow assisted him.

	"So, Mrs. Smith, we see that you had evidence of your husband's
subhumanity and yet you did not kill him ... ah, you did not kill IT.
You did not even report it to the police ... so why should we let you
live?  "

	This raises an important issue about the children of rapists.
I literally state that rapists are subhuman ... thus their children are at
best half-human.  And yet I would not claim that I am human, so perhaps
I ought not question their right to live.  But it certainly is a good 
argument for aborting the fetuses conceived by rapists.  Which Catholics
don't like.

(:
E-Shrugs.

I *know* that I am a twisted sicko.  But are my arguments valid?
