   I'm saddened about what has gone on in the USA as well.    The dumbass idea   
   that there are only two sides to politics always bugged me.   It's a multi-   
   faceted game.   
      
   The US is deeper than that.   No one who I know has ever had a dislike for   
   the fine people in the USA or what the USA is about.   But, sometimes they   
   have had reservations about the leadership.  More so now, than ever before in   
   my time.    Next door neighbours and elephant grunts.   That's what living   
   north to you guys is all about.   
      
   "Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter   
   how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is   
   affected by every twitch and grunt."
