YGTBSM

Are you ready for this? The Bush Administration now wants U.S. citizens to have and show a passport when visiting Canada. Now for you folks who don't live near the Canadian border and have no idea what Canada is about, it isn't Sgt. Preston of the Yukon. Culturally and environmentally, the area on either side of the border is pretty much same. The people who live close to that border cross it frequently for shopping, for sports programs, or to visit relatives. Canada is one of our best friends. Could it be (1) by making everyone have a $100 passport, Bush is trying to raise more money for the war in Iraq or (2) Bush wants to "punish" the Canadians --- who were smart enough to recognize the folly --- for their non-support of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. This is but one more of the administration's YGTBSM plans!!!
