Ooooooo... Dave - that wasn't good. A good rebuttal is one thing, but I
expected better from you. Here - give it another go...

Well in my own defense, as a Canadian, my interests lie mostly with
what is happening north of the border. That's not to say that I'm not
concerned with what is happening in the US, since most of what you do
has a tremendous impact on Canada. But, there's very little I can do
about it.

That's he only defense I can offer.
