It's just so hard to see that when it comes to decisions like this, you don't have any control over the moral vapidity of the judicial branch.

No, the two mildest cities in Canada are Vancouver and Calgary, and my Dad is now in Calgary (you may remember he moved up from Houston).<BR/><BR/>He may work in the oil business, but he is "the enemy" and even votes green - he's the required environmental consultant that no one wants to listen to.<BR/><BR/>If you want I can get him to put out a feeler.
