It's not as bad as the mirror makes it out to be. I have approximately twice that many guns, so that means there are possibly 198 people here who have no guns at all. I don't know any of them, but they could exist.

As to the black bears roaming freely, that part is 100% true. But I would take black bears (a minor threat that you can see) over the less visible threats like poisonous spiders and snakes.

Hi Rob



...and thanks to those selfsame Brits, we don't hunt seals much anymore!

I wonder if the same Scots would import Flipper Pie?

Is there any truth to the rumour that Britain was prepared to retaliate by banning poutine?
