Mark Twain... "The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." So it is with the USA in every exaggerated fatalistic apocalyptic fantastic end of the World movie!
I just visited a video rental store where Laura enlightened me to the fact that the US gets annihilated every world-disaster movie that gets made... and the rest of the world gets only a few ripple fall-outs. Sure the World gets destroyed, but not before the US takes the hit... or saves the rest of the World from inevitable destruction.
It's like the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" where the States gets, what we call up here in Canada and average snow-fall. And all of a sudden it's like "Aaaaaaah it's the end of the World" Seriously? So you get stuck in your 4by, we just hook-up another dog to the sled! Haven't ya'll seen freezing rain before? So it is with all this end of the world stuff... just because the States is in recession... Ooooooh the end of the world! Even if it was the end of the USA, it's not necessarily the end of Canada! Look at the movies...
Let me show you... "2012"; I don't care what anybody says... it wasn't Saint Andrea's fault! "28 Days Later"; WHAT... like your kids don't normally bring home rabies from school? "Independence Day"; it's a known fact ET is too advanced to live in our igloo's! "War of the Worlds"; now you're saying "tornado alley" is an ET invasion...Mmmmm. "The Road"; OK, you know a bit about that, you have Idaho! "I Am Legend"; we got this... downtown Toronto (only colder)! "Planet of the Apes"; we got this too... Parliament in session! "Knowing"; really? Nicolas Cage/"knowing" doesn't really go together... I saw him in "Raising Arizona!" You see, our Natives "knew" it long before that,
they even had a word for it... "TEOTWAWKI"
See, you guy's are always exaggerating, like Texas... just exaggerating... you are exaggerating right?? Well, it doesn't matter anyway, you name it Canada can survive it! Because the "world destroyers" will have to go through the US before they get to us !:]
Really, the Canadian Military is second to none... but I don't think that's a compliment!?!
OK, here is some good Canadian humor...
