And if you will permit me my rant, the friggin' company I rent our
office postage meter from (Neopost) just charged me $95 for what looks
like 50 cents worth of "smart card" with new rate data in it to let it
pick the right amount of postage when mail is plopped onto it's little
attached scale.

It might not be *such* a big screwing if the damn scale weighed stuff
beyond 13 ounces and let you choose between first class, priority, media
mail and parcel post. But all it does is first class postage, you have
to do the other kinds manually.

If it wuz just me I'd go back to using our old $10 mechanical scale with
the rates printed on the dial and punch the postage amount into the
postage meter myself. But our two office assistants are used to the
scale doing the setting and it would be lousy P.R. for me to tell them
they had to go back to "doing it by hand" again.

Neopost must laugh all the way to the bank raking in what's probably at
least $85 of pure profit from all their tens of thousands of scale users
evertime there's a postage rate increase.

Thanks, I feel better now...

The amount I pay in GST in a year is still far less than the average
amount a typical
American pays for private health insurance.

How are the American wars doing? You seem to have an ongoing "war on
drugs" and a newer
"war on terror". Any end in sight to either of them?

The USA prides itself on being a "peaceful" country, yet you spend more on
your military
than China, Russia, France, the UK, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, and
Saudi Arabia
COMBINED. In terms of raw military spending, those are the top ten
countries, with the
USA right on top.


Except for China, I didn't know those other countries HAD a military. China
does it all on manpower--they don't need any expensive high-tech equipment
other than a few swords. What is Canada's military? Just a few fags
dressed up in queer-looking red uniforms riding around on horses?

I pay $112 a year for private health insurance. That equals what--about $24
in Canada?

Actually, I feel sorry for you. I know several Canadians, and they are all
either alcoholics or are suffering from bi-polar disorder. I guess that is
what happens when you have that nasty beer to drink and eat that mad-cow
beef.

You sound like a Newfie. Folks in Ontario are basically Americans because

True in a sense, but I dare say that my taxes aren't $13,000 higher than

health insurance?

Hard to say. We fund medical care for the indigent through our taxes. We
have better care for those that cannot pay than the politicians let on.
They just want to have control over our money. You'd have to do a full
analysis on spending to make a conclusion.

True, and some Canadians will choose to pay out of pocket for things like
that. The
Canadian health system tends to focus its efforts on essential services.
Elective
services tend to have longer waiting times.

So much for "free" medical care.

Actually, I'd point out that Canadians have won plenty of Stanley cups in the past 20
years. Take a look at American hockey teams, and oddly you'll find tons of Canadian
players.

As to the Canadian teams, part of the problem (which seems to be improved in the 'new'
NHL) is that there hasn't been parity between the teams, payroll-wise. Large-market
teams were able to lure good players because they had fat payrolls, leaving the smaller-
market teams (including most of Canada) left in the lurch.

Is this whole thing about Money = Bad? That does seem to be what
you're saying in almost everything you wrote so far.

How's this: money sucks, the US sucks because it has money. About sum
it up for you?

but recall Canada
wouldn't have won anything since the late 50's if the meddling USA
didn't meddle with the USSR and take down the Iron Curtain.

In 1972, long before the fall of the Iron Curtain, Canada beat the USSR in the Summit
